Subject: [RFC PATCH v4 12/16] mm/mglru: run aging if the preferred type has no reclaimable gens
Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2026 20:16:54 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260812121658.69965-13-baohua@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260812121658.69965-1-baohua@kernel.org>
Respect the type selected by get_type_to_scan(). If there are no
reclaimable gens left for that type, run aging.
