[PATCH v4 01/10] mm: vmscan: add validation before spliting shmem large folio

From: Baolin Wang
Date: Wed Aug 07 2024 - 03:31:43 EST


Page reclaim will not scan anon LRU if no swap space, however MADV_PAGEOUT
can still split shmem large folios even without a swap device. Thus add
swap available space validation before spliting shmem large folio to
avoid redundant split.
