Message-ID: <20250513065355.07395C4CEE4@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
The quilt patch titled
Subject: mm: add max swappiness arg to lru_gen for anonymous memory only
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-add-max-swappiness-arg-to-lru_gen-for-anonymous-memory-only.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm: add max swappiness arg to lru_gen for anonymous memory only
Date: Mon, 21 Apr 2025 17:13:30 +0800
The MGLRU already supports reclaiming only from anonymous memory via the
/sys/kernel/debug/lru_gen interface. Now, memory.reclaim also supports
the swappiness=max parameter to enable reclaiming solely from anonymous
memory. To unify the semantics of proactive reclaiming from anonymous
folios, the max parameter is introduced.
