This is the patchset for the page folios, which Matthew proposed a few days ago and discussed via zoom.
Do we still need skip swapcache logic in do_swap_page() for SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO?
[RFC V2 00/37] Enhance memory utilization with DMEMFS (Yuley Zhang) https://lkml.kernel.org/r/cover.1607332046.git.yuleixzhang@tencent.com
This patchset aims to remove the ‘struct page’ from user-sepcified region of memory and use a file system called ‘dmemfs’ to minimize the memory region dedicated for ‘struct page’s.
[PATCH] mm: don’t SetPageWorkingset unconditionally during swapin (Yu Zhao) https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20201209012400.1771150-1-yuzhao@google.com
Unconditional ‘SetPageWorkingset’ miscategorizes read-ahead pages or pages that never belong to the working set as working set because it’s called unconditionally.
[PATCH] mm: mmap_lock: fix use-after-free race and css ref leak in tracepoints (Axel Rasmussen) https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20201130233504.3725241-1-axelrasmussen@google.com
