[PATCH 5/8] mm/mglru: use a smaller batch for reclaim
From: Kairui Song via B4 Relay
Date: Tue Mar 17 2026 - 15:23:54 EST
From: Kairui Song <kasong@xxxxxxxxxxx>
With a fixed number to reclaim calculated at the beginning, making each
following step smaller should reduce the lock contention and avoid
over-aggressive reclaim of folios, as it will abort earlier when the
number of folios to be reclaimed is reached.
