Subject: [RFC PATCH v4 06/16] mm/mglru: batch update lrugen->protected in inc_min_seq()
Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2026 20:16:48 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260812121658.69965-7-baohua@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260812121658.69965-1-baohua@kernel.org>
Avoid updating lrugen->protected with WRITE_ONCE() for each folio,
which may prevent potential compiler optimizations. Accumulate the
updates locally and apply them in a batch instead.
