From 8a144612eb8a31b94ecb2d340d07588ac115e819 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Yang Date: Fri, 30 Jun 2023 17:22:02 +0800 Subject: fs: drop_caches: draining pages before dropping caches We expect a file page access after dropping caches should be a major fault, but sometimes it's still a minor fault. That's because a file page can't be dropped if it's in a per-cpu pagevec. Draining all pages from per-cpu pagevec to lru list before trying to drop caches.
