From 66c8745d12615d46e4bc5a597cdb79cdf83b813e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miaohe Lin Date: Mon, 4 Jul 2022 21:21:56 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] mm/huge_memory: try to free subpage in swapcache when possible Subpages in swapcache won't be freed even if it is the last user of the page until next time reclaim. It shouldn't hurt indeed, but we could try to free these pages to save more memory for system.
