Subject: mm/mglru: make swappiness=1 file reclaim more aggressive
Date: Sat, 14 Nov 2026 02:55:40 +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, for swappiness=1, anon_factor is set to 0 at higher reclaim
priorities.  This makes the two settings behave similarly, although the
thresholds differ slightly based on testing.

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