[PATCH v4 07/12] mm, swap: support flexible batch freeing of slots in different memcgs
From: Kairui Song via B4 Relay
Date: Fri May 15 2026 - 06:21:36 EST
From: Kairui Song <kasong@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Instead of requiring the caller to ensure all slots are in the same
memcg, make the function handle different memcgs at once.
This is both a micro optimization and required for removing the memcg
lookup in the page table layer, so it can be unified at the swap layer.
We are not removing the memcg lookup in the page table in this commit.
It has to be done after the memcg lookup is deferred to the swap layer.
