28 +Rmap/PT walk feedback
29 +---------------------
30 +Searching the rmap for PTEs mapping each page on an LRU list (to test
31 +and clear the accessed bit) can be expensive because pages from
32 +different VMAs (PA space) are not cache friendly to the rmap (VA
33 +space). For workloads mostly using mapped pages, searching the rmap
34 +can incur the highest CPU cost in the reclaim path.
36 +``lru_gen_look_around()`` exploits spatial locality to reduce the
37 +trips into the rmap. It scans the adjacent PTEs of a young PTE and
38 +promotes hot pages. If the scan was done cacheline efficiently, it
39 +adds the PMD entry pointing to the PTE table to the Bloom filter. This
40 +forms a feedback loop between the eviction and the aging.
