Subject: [PATCH] mm/vmscan: drop checking if _deferred_list is empty before using TTU_SYNC
Date: Sun, 30 Jun 2024 11:41:55 +1200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240629234155.53524-1-21cnbao@gmail.com> (raw)

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

The optimization of list_empty(&folio->_deferred_list) aimed to prevent
increasing the PTL duration when a large folio is partially unmapped,
for example, from subpage 0 to subpage (nr - 2).

But Ryan's commit 5ed890ce5147 ("mm: vmscan: avoid split during
shrink_folio_list()") actually splits this kind of large folios. This
makes the "optimization" useless.

 * I remember David and Ryan once suggested that this check could be dropped
   while the patch was being pulled into mm-unstable. However, for some reason,
   I forgot to request squashing this change.
