Subject: [merged mm-stable] memcg-move-mem_cgroup_swappiness-and-vm_swappiness-to-mm-swaph.patch removed from -mm tree
Date: Mon, 24 Aug 2026 18:45:10 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260825014510.84D381F000E9@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
The quilt patch titled
Subject: memcg: move mem_cgroup_swappiness and vm_swappiness to mm/swap.h
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
memcg-move-mem_cgroup_swappiness-and-vm_swappiness-to-mm-swaph.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: memcg: move mem_cgroup_swappiness and vm_swappiness to mm/swap.h
Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2026 11:24:33 +0800
Patch series "mm: vmscan: fix node reclaim ignoring swappiness parameter",
v4.
The per-node proactive reclaim interface
(/sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/reclaim) accepts a swappiness parameter,
but it is silently ignored when CONFIG_MEMCG is disabled. The root cause
is that sc_swappiness() has separate implementations for CONFIG_MEMCG and
!CONFIG_MEMCG, and the latter never checks proactive_swappiness.
Patch 1 moves mem_cgroup_swappiness() and vm_swappiness out of the public
include/linux/swap.h into the mm-private mm/swap.h, and makes the helper
handle both CONFIG_MEMCG and !CONFIG_MEMCG in a single inline function.
This is a prerequisite for unifying sc_swappiness().
Patch 2 consolidates sc_swappiness() into a single definition that works
regardless of CONFIG_MEMCG, fixing the node reclaim swappiness bug.
This patch (of 2):
The per-memcg swappiness knob is v1-only; v2 always uses global
vm_swappiness and ignores the per-cgroup field.
Both mem_cgroup_swappiness() and vm_swappiness are only used within mm/
(memcontrol.c, memcontrol-v1.c, vmscan.c), so move them out of the public
include/linux/swap.h into the mm-private mm/swap.h. This keeps unrelated
declarations out of include/linux/swap.h.
Guard memcg->swappiness with CONFIG_MEMCG_V1 as well, so v2-only
kernels drop the unused field.
No functional change for v1; v2-only kernels drop the unused field.
