Subject: mm/mglru: avoid prolonged anon reclaim with swappiness=200
Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2026 07:26:01 +0800

It has been observed that swappiness=200 can significantly slow down
reclaim on some machines, with some workloads running 3x slower
under MGLRU than under CLRU.

This is because swappiness=200 currently results in file_factor=0.
Give file reclaim a small factor at lower priorities, for example,
when sc->priority < DEF_PRIORITY / 2.
