[PATCH v5 28/39] mm: Avoid splitting large pages

From: Matthew Wilcox <willy@infradead.org>
Date: 2020-05-29 03:01:44
Also in: linux-fsdevel, lkml
Subsystem: memory management, memory management - mglru (multi-gen lru), memory management - reclaim, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, Johannes Weiner, Linus Torvalds

From: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@infradead.org>

If the filesystem supports large pages, then do not split them before
removing them from the page cache; remove them as a unit.
