[PATCH v3 7/7] mm: make PT_RECLAIM depends on MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE

From: Qi Zheng
Date: Wed Dec 17 2025 - 04:58:43 EST


From: Qi Zheng <zhengqi.arch@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The PT_RECLAIM can work on all architectures that support
MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE, so make PT_RECLAIM depends on
MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE.

BTW, change PT_RECLAIM to be enabled by default, since nobody should want
to turn it off.

Try to reclaim empty user page table pages in paths other than munmap
and exit_mmap path.
