Subject: [RFC 2/3] mm: process_mrelease: skip LRU movement for exclusive file folios
Date: Mon, 13 Apr 2026 15:39:47 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260413223948.556351-3-minchan@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260413223948.556351-1-minchan@kernel.org>
For the process_mrelease reclaim, skip LRU handling for exclusive
file-backed folios since they will be freed soon so pointless
to move around in the LRU.
This avoids costly LRU movement which accounts for a significant portion
of the time during unmap_page_range.
