From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com> mainline inclusion from mainline-v5.8-rc1 commit a980df33e9351e5474c06ec0fd96b2f409e2ff22 category: bugfix bugzilla: 36242 CVE: NA ------------------------------------------------- Having a page in LRU add cache offsets page refcount and gives false-negative on PageLRU(). It reduces collapse success rate. Drain all LRU add caches before scanning. It happens relatively rare and should not disturb the system too much. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.
