Subject: khugepaged: drain all LRU caches before scanning pages
X-Git-Url: http://git.maquefel.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a980df33e9351e5474c06ec0fd96b2f409e2ff22;p=linux.git

khugepaged: drain all LRU caches before scanning pages

Having a page in LRU add cache offsets page refcount and gives
false-negative on PageLRU().  It reduces collapse success rate.

Drain all LRU add caches before scanning.  It happens relatively rare and
should not disturb the system too much.
