Hi Barry,

A small nit:

> + unsigned long delta = 0;

lrugen->nr_pages is a signed long and is documented as being able to
transiently go negative while reset_batch_size() is pending. Could delta
remain a long as well, so this arithmetic stays signed?

In 2/6, where the declarations are combined, this could be:

unsigned long protected[MAX_NR_TIERS] = {};
long delta = 0;

Thanks,
Lian
