[Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>]

The patch titled
     Subject: mm/mglru: make swappiness=1 file reclaim more aggressive
has been added to the -mm mm-new branch.  Its filename is
     mm-mglru-make-swappiness=1-file-reclaim-more-aggressive.patch

This patch will shortly appear at
     https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/mm-mglru-make-swappiness=1-file-reclaim-more-aggressive.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.

The mm-new branch of mm.git is not included in linux-next

If a few days of testing in mm-new is successful, the patch will me moved
into mm.git's mm-unstable branch, which is included in linux-next

Subject: mm/mglru: make swappiness=1 file reclaim more aggressive
Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2026 07:26:02 +0800

In MGLRU, swappiness=200 favors anon reclaim, while swappiness=1
favors file reclaim. Swappiness=0 allows only file reclaim, while
swappiness=201 allows only anon reclaim. Thus, swappiness=1 and
swappiness=200 are counterparts for file and anon reclaim,
respectively.

Before this patchset, get_type_to_scan() always returned
LRU_GEN_ANON for swappiness=200 and LRU_GEN_FILE for swappiness=1.

For swappiness=200, file_factor is set to 0 at higher reclaim
priorities. Similarly, anon_factor is set to 0 for swappiness=1
at higher reclaim priorities, making the two settings behave
similarly, although the thresholds are slightly different.

This allows file pages to be reclaimed more aggressively and
benefits workloads that prioritize file reclaim by using
swappiness=1.
