Subject: [PATCH 2/3] mm: vmscan: propagate real error code from per-node proactive reclaim
Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2026 19:32:59 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260717113300.214717-3-ridong.chen@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260717113300.214717-1-ridong.chen@linux.dev>
From: Ridong Chen <chenridong@xiaomi.com>
It has been observed that per-node proactive reclaim always returns
-EAGAIN when any error occurs. As discussed in the mailing list [1],
the interface should distinguish between cases where no reclaimable
memory is left and where another entity is concurrently using the
same interface. Propagate the real error code, consistent with how
memcg proactive reclaim handles errors.

Fixes: b980077899ea ("mm: introduce per-node proactive reclaim interface")
