From 11de9927f9dd3cb0a0f18064fa4b6976fc37e79c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mel Gorman Date: Wed, 4 Jun 2014 16:07:41 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm: numa: add migrated transhuge pages to LRU the same way as base pages Migration of misplaced transhuge pages uses page_add_new_anon_rmap() when putting the page back as it avoided an atomic operations and added the new page to the correct LRU. A side-effect is that the page gets marked activated as part of the migration meaning that transhuge and base pages are treated differently from an aging perspective than base page migration. This patch uses page_add_anon_rmap() and putback_lru_page() on completion of a transhuge migration similar to base page migration. It would require fewer atomic operations to use lru_cache_add without taking an additional reference to the page. The downside would be that it's still different to base page migration and unevictable pages may be added to the wrong LRU for cleaning up later. Testing of the usual workloads did not show any adverse impact to the change.
