Deactivate a given range of pages by moving them from active to
inactive LRU list. This is done to accelerate the reclaim of these
pages. The advice might be ignored for some pages in the range when it
is not applicable.I do not think we want to talk about active/inactive LRU lists here. Wouldn't it be sufficient to say Deactive a given range of pages which will make them a more probable reclaim target should there be a memory pressure. This is a non-destructive operation. Other than that, looks good to me from the content POV. Thanks! -- Michal Hocko SUSE Labs
