Subject: [PATCH 5/6] mm/mglru: move folios from oldest gen to second-oldest gen from head to tail
Date: Fri, 21 Aug 2026 18:25:37 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260821102538.22642-6-baohua@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260821102538.22642-1-baohua@kernel.org>
For reclamation, it makes sense to reclaim folios from tail to
head, as folios near the head are relatively hot. However, when
moving folios from the oldest generation to the second-oldest
generation, using the tail-to-head order would effectively cause
a cold/hot inversion.
