[PATCH v2] mm: add lazyfree folio to lru tail

From: gaoxu
Date: Fri Aug 16 2024 - 04:03:24 EST


Replace lruvec_add_folio with lruvec_add_folio_tail in the lru_lazyfree_fn:
1. The lazy-free folio is added to the LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list. If it's
moved to the LRU tail, it allows for faster release lazy-free folio and
reduces the impact on file refault.
2. When mglru is enabled, the lazy-free folio is reclaimabled and should be
added using lru_gen_add_folio(lruvec, folio, true) instead of
lru_gen_add_folio(lruvec, folio, false) for adding to gen.

With the change in place, workingset_refault_file is reduced by 33% in the
continuous startup testing of the applications in the Android system.
