[PATCH 2/2] mm/mglru: reset page lru tier bits when activating

From: Wei Xu
Date: Mon Oct 14 2024 - 18:12:54 EST


folio_activate() calls lru_gen_add_folio() to move the folio to the
youngest generation. But unlike folio_update_gen()/folio_inc_gen(),
lru_gen_add_folio() doesn't reset the folio lru tier bits
(LRU_REFS_MASK | LRU_REFS_FLAGS). Fix this inconsistency in
lru_gen_add_folio() when activating a folio.

Fixes: 018ee47f1489 ("mm: multi-gen LRU: exploit locality in rmap")
