[RFC PATCH v4 15/16] mm/mglru: dynamically scale aging threshold in lru_gen_imbalanced()

["Barry Song (Xiaomi)" <baohua@kernel.org>]

Currently, lru_gen_imbalanced() uses a fixed threshold (MAX_NR_GENS)
to determine whether the young-to-old folio ratio warrants aging the
preferred LRU type.

This fixed threshold may not scale well with large memory systems.
Borrow the adaptive ratio calculation from inactive_is_low() by
scaling the threshold with the square root of the memory size in GB.
