Subject: [PATCH v2] Docs/mm/damon/design: remove the details for pageout as paddr doesn't use MADV_PAGEOUT
Date: Sun, 25 Feb 2024 11:47:51 +1300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240224224751.4673-1-21cnbao@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Barry Song <v-songbaohua@oppo.com>

The doc needs fix. As only in the case of virtual address, we
are calling madvise() with MADV_PAGEOUT. But in the case of
physical address, we are calling reclaim_pages() directly.
MADV_PAGEOUT on virtual address is much more aggresive to
reclaim memory compared to reclaim_pages() on paddr region.
This patch removes the details so that the description can
apply to both cases. And we don't need to couple with the
implementation details.
