The quilt patch titled Subject: mm: multi-gen LRU: use {ptep,pmdp}_clear_young_notify() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-multi-gen-lru-use-pteppmdp_clear_young_notify.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
------------------------------------------------------ From: Yu Zhao yuzhao@google.com Subject: mm: multi-gen LRU: use {ptep,pmdp}_clear_young_notify() Date: Sat, 19 Oct 2024 01:29:39 +0000
When the MM_WALK capability is enabled, memory that is mostly accessed by a VM appears younger than it really is, therefore this memory will be less likely to be evicted. Therefore, the presence of a running VM can significantly increase swap-outs for non-VM memory, regressing the performance for the rest of the system.
Fix this regression by always calling {ptep,pmdp}_clear_young_notify() whenever we clear the young bits on PMDs/PTEs.
