From 4f98a2fee8acdb4ac84545df98cccecfd130f8db Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rik van Riel Date: Sat, 18 Oct 2008 20:26:32 -0700 Subject: vmscan: split LRU lists into anon & file sets Split the LRU lists in two, one set for pages that are backed by real file systems ("file") and one for pages that are backed by memory and swap ("anon"). The latter includes tmpfs. The advantage of doing this is that the VM will not have to scan over lots of anonymous pages (which we generally do not want to swap out), just to find the page cache pages that it should evict. This patch has the infrastructure and a basic policy to balance how much we scan the anon lists and how much we scan the file lists. The big policy changes are in separate patches.
