Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] some cleanups for pageout()
Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2025 11:46:52 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1758166683.git.baolin.wang@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)

Since we no longer attempt to write back filesystem folios in pageout(),
and only tmpfs/shmem folios and anonymous swapcache folios can be written
back, we can remove the redundant folio_test_private() related logic to
simplify the logic of pageout(), as tmpfs/shmem and swapcache folios do
not use the PG_private flag.

Changes from v1:
 - Re-write the commit message for patch 1 after discussing with Hugh. Thanks.
 - Add a warning to catch this unlikely case.
 - Add acked tags. Thanks.
