[PATCH v2 13/16] mm: multigenerational lru: page reclaim

[Yu Zhao]

With the aging and the eviction in place, we can build the page
reclaim in a straightforward manner:
  1) In order to reduce the latency, direct reclaim only invokes the
  aging when both min_seq[2] reaches max_seq-1; otherwise it invokes
  the eviction.
  2) In order to avoid the aging in the direct reclaim path, kswapd
  does the background aging more proactively. It invokes the aging
  when either of min_seq[2] reaches max_seq-1; otherwise it invokes
  the eviction.

And we add another optimization: pages mapped around a referenced PTE
may also have been referenced due to the spatial locality. In the
reclaim path, if the rmap finds the PTE mapping a page under reclaim
referenced, it calls a new function lru_gen_scan_around() to scan the
vicinity of the PTE. And if this new function finds others referenced
PTEs, it updates the generation number of the pages mapped by those
PTEs.
