You still need to decay the bg_page_aging counter a little somewhere,
otherwise if you've been running a long-lived workload which keeps
most of memory recently activated, you'll build up such a large
counter that going idle will still age everything to zero.
This might be as simple as clamping the value of the counter to some
arbitrary maximum value such as num_physpages.
Cheers,
Stephen
