The patch titled
     Subject: mm: use SWAPPINESS_ANON_ONLY in MGLRU
has been added to the -mm mm-new branch.  Its filename is
     mm-using-swappiness_anon_only-in-mglru.patch

This patch will shortly appear at
     https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/mm-using-swappiness_anon_only-in-mglru.patch

This patch will later appear in the mm-new branch at
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Note, mm-new is a provisional staging ground for work-in-progress
patches, and acceptance into mm-new is a notification for others take
notice and to finish up reviews.  Please do not hesitate to respond to
review feedback and post updated versions to replace or incrementally
fixup patches in mm-new.

Before you just go and hit "reply", please:

   c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a
      reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's

*** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code ***

The -mm tree is included into linux-next via the mm-everything
branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
and is updated there every 2-3 working days

Subject: mm: use SWAPPINESS_ANON_ONLY in MGLRU
Date: Mon, 21 Apr 2025 17:13:31 +0800

Using SWAPPINESS_ANON_ONLY instead of MAX_SWAPPINESS + 1 to indicate
reclaiming only from anonymous pages makes the code more readable and
explicit.

Add some comment in the SWAPPINESS_ANON_ONLY context.
