Subject: [PATCH v9 16/16] mm/mglru: Avoid scan anon while swapcache is low for GFP_NOIO allocation
Date: Sun, 15 Nov 2026 04:08:03 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261114200803.23129-17-baohua@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261114200803.23129-1-baohua@kernel.org>
From: Bo Zhang <zhangbo56@xiaomi.com>
With GFP_NOIO, we cannot reclaim anon folios unless they are in
the swap cache. CLRU skips anon reclaim when the swap cache is
very low by commit 74d9aa0d8e98 ("mm: vmscan: avoid anon scanning
for GFP_NOIO with low swapcache"). Apply the same logic to MGLRU.
The new scan-budget-based mechanism makes this straightforward to
implement. Thanks also to Xiang Liu, who previously attempted to fix
this before we had the scan-budget-based model [1].
One thing worth noting is that, for GFP_NOIO allocations, the
lruvec size accounted for by lruvec_evictable_size() may be
underestimated during lru_gen_age_node(), even though we count
all zones for the min_ttl check.
As explained in the commit message, the proper solution is to
decouple the size check from min_ttl handling. We leave that
improvement to a separate patch series.
