[PATCHv2 04/11] mm/zswap: Use PG_dropbehind instead of PG_reclaim

From: Kirill A. Shutemov <hidden>
Date: 2025-01-15 09:31:54
Also in: linux-fsdevel, lkml
Subsystem: memory management, the rest, zswap compressed swap caching · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, Linus Torvalds, Johannes Weiner, Yosry Ahmed, Nhat Pham

The recently introduced PG_dropbehind allows for freeing folios
immediately after writeback. Unlike PG_reclaim, it does not need vmscan
to be involved to get the folio freed.

Instead of using folio_set_reclaim(), use folio_set_dropbehind() in
zswap_writeback_entry().
