[RFC PATCH 4/5] mm: add page implyreclaim flag

From: Lincheng Yang
Date: Sun Oct 08 2023 - 06:00:33 EST


Add implyrecalim flag means that the page is reclaim from the user advise.
If the number of restore times for these implyrecalim pages exceeds
workingset_restore_limit, it means they are frequently used and are hot
pages. Otherwise, continue to determine whether it has been restored. If
so, it means that it is frequently used also and belongs to the hot page.
