From 2da6de30e60dd9bb14600eff1cc99df2fa2ddae3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hugh Dickins hughd@google.com Date: Mon, 8 Sep 2025 15:23:15 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm: folio_may_be_lru_cached() unless folio_test_large()
mm/swap.c and mm/mlock.c agree to drain any per-CPU batch as soon as a large folio is added: so collect_longterm_unpinnable_folios() just wastes effort when calling lru_add_drain[_all]() on a large folio.
But although there is good reason not to batch up PMD-sized folios, we might well benefit from batching a small number of low-order mTHPs (though unclear how that "small number" limitation will be implemented).
So ask if folio_may_be_lru_cached() rather than !folio_test_large(), to insulate those particular checks from future change. Name preferred to "folio_is_batchable" because large folios can well be put on a batch: it's just the per-CPU LRU caches, drained much later, which need care.
Marked for stable, to counter the increase in lru_add_drain_all()s from "mm/gup: check ref_count instead of lru before migration".
