   4 Subject: [PATCH 14/29] mm: multi-gen LRU: retry pages written back while
   5  isolated
   6
   7 The page reclaim isolates a batch of pages from the tail of one of the
   8 LRU lists and works on those pages one by one.  For a suitable
   9 swap-backed page, if the swap device is async, it queues that page for
  10 writeback.  After the page reclaim finishes an entire batch, it puts back
  11 the pages it queued for writeback to the head of the original LRU list.
  12
  13 In the meantime, the page writeback flushes the queued pages also by
  14 batches.  Its batching logic is independent from that of the page reclaim.
  15 For each of the pages it writes back, the page writeback calls
  16 rotate_reclaimable_page() which tries to rotate a page to the tail.
  17
  18 rotate_reclaimable_page() only works for a page after the page reclaim
  19 has put it back.  If an async swap device is fast enough, the page
  20 writeback can finish with that page while the page reclaim is still
  21 working on the rest of the batch containing it.  In this case, that page
  22 will remain at the head and the page reclaim will not retry it before
  23 reaching there.
  24
  25 This patch adds a retry to evict_pages().  After evict_pages() has
  26 finished an entire batch and before it puts back pages it cannot free
  27 immediately, it retries those that may have missed the rotation.
  28
  29 Before this patch, ~60% of pages swapped to an Intel Optane missed
  30 rotate_reclaimable_page().  After this patch, ~99% of missed pages were
  31 reclaimed upon retry.
  32
  33 This problem affects relatively slow async swap devices like Samsung 980
  34 Pro much less and does not affect sync swap devices like zram or zswap at
  35 all.
