Subject: [RFC PATCH 4/4] mm: mglru: run aging if the preferred type has no folios in reclaimable gens
Date: Sun, 26 Jul 2026 09:29:46 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260726012946.18684-5-baohua@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260726012946.18684-1-baohua@kernel.org>
Respect the type selected by positive_ctrl_err(). If there are no
reclaimable gens left for that type, run aging.
