Subject: [PATCH v2 1/7] mm/mglru: separate folio generation update from LRU accounting
Date: Fri, 28 Aug 2026 07:46:58 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260827234704.63163-2-baohua@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260827234704.63163-1-baohua@kernel.org>
folio_inc_gen() currently updates both the folio's generation and the
LRU size accounting. This makes it difficult to batch the LRU size updates
when moving multiple folios.
Extract the generation update into __folio_inc_gen(), which only updates
the folio's generation and reports whether the generation was actually
increased. Keep folio_inc_gen() as the wrapper that performs the LRU size
accounting when needed.
This separates the per-folio generation update from LRU accounting and
allows the latter to be batched by subsequent changes.
