[PATCH v2 2/7] mm/mglru: batch update lrugen->nr_pages in inc_min_seq()
From: Barry Song (Xiaomi)
Date: Thu Aug 27 2026 - 19:48:12 EST
Currently, folio_inc_gen() updates lrugen->nr_pages for every folio
as it advances generations. Instead, accumulate the size changes
and update lrugen->nr_pages in a batch after scanning the entire
oldest generation, or when the scan stops because remaining reaches
zero.
Since we only move folios from the oldest generation to the second
oldest generation, the active/inactive state cannot change. We can
therefore skip __lru_update_size().
