I found this patchset makes build fails when !CONFIG_LRU_GEN, like below:

    In file included from /linux/include/trace/trace_events.h:27,
                     from /linux/include/trace/define_trace.h:102,
                     from /linux/include/trace/events/oom.h:195,
                     from /linux/mm/oom_kill.c:53:
    /linux/include/trace/events/mmflags.h:278:7: error: ‘LRU_GEN_ANON’ undeclared here (not in a function); did you mean ‘LRU_GEN_PGOFF’?
      278 |   EM (LRU_GEN_ANON, "anon") \
          |       ^~~~~~~~~~~~

Maybe some config checks are needed?


Thanks,
