Subject: Re: [PATCH 02/15] mm/hugetlb: compare against persistent count when freeing lowmem folios
Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2026 20:16:27 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <sashiko-outbox-189902@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261028-fixes_hugetlb-v1-2-a0a033db180f@kernel.org>
> try_to_free_low() gets a target number of persistent folios, but
> compares it with "nr_huge_pages", which includes surplus folios. As a
> result, it can free lowmem folios below that target.
>
> For example, with two persistent folios and one surplus folio, a target
> of two can still end up freeing one persistent folio.
>
> Compare against persistent_huge_pages() instead. Convert the macro to a
> helper function and place it before try_to_free_low().
>
