Subject: [PATCHv2 3/8] khugepaged: Drain all LRU caches before scanning pages
Date:   Fri,  3 Apr 2020 14:29:23 +0300

Precedence: bulk

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.
