[PATCH v6 12/15] mm/mglru: Reduce LRU lock contention by shrinking folio batches in inc_min_seq
From: Barry Song (Xiaomi)
Date: Tue Nov 10 2026 - 15:26:08 EST
Reduce the number of folios moved from the oldest generation to the
second-oldest generation in each batch. This shortens the time the
lruvec lock is held, allowing concurrent LRU operations to make
progress and significantly reducing LRU lock contention.
