I guess it would improve system performance very well. But as I wrote down in description, downside of the patch is that we have to age anon lru although we don't have swap. But gain via the patch is bigger than loss via aging of anon lru when memory pressure happens. I don't see other downside other than it. What do you think about it? (I didn't implement anon lru aging in case of no-swap but it's trivial once we decide)
I am a bit confused like some of the others as to why this patch is necessary since we already have DONT_NEED. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
