From 5e02dde6aee7c4492b3a62ad93e7f1120877a019 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Minchan Kim Date: Mon, 31 Oct 2011 17:06:55 -0700 Subject: mm: zone_reclaim: make isolate_lru_page() filter-aware commit f80c0673610e36ae29d63e3297175e22f70dde5f upstream. Stable note: Not tracked in Bugzilla. THP and compaction disrupt the LRU list leading to poor reclaim decisions which has a variable performance impact. In __zone_reclaim case, we don't want to shrink mapped page. Nonetheless, we have isolated mapped page and re-add it into LRU's head. It's unnecessary CPU overhead and makes LRU churning. Of course, when we isolate the page, the page might be mapped but when we try to migrate the page, the page would be not mapped. So it could be migrated. But race is rare and although it happens, it's no big deal.
