[PATCH v3 1/5] mm: list_lru: allow external numa node and cgroup tracking

2023-10-17T23:22:00Z

The interface of list_lru is based on the assumption that objects are
allocated on the correct node/memcg, with this change it is introduced the
possibility to explicitly specify numa node and memcgroup when adding and
removing objects. This is so that users of list_lru can track node/memcg
of the items outside of the list_lru, like in zswap, where the allocations
can be made by kswapd for data that's charged to a different cgroup.
