It certainly has nothing do with a LRU I think. In fact being able to have stats that count say the number of device pages here would probably be useful at some point. In general I find the vm_normal_lru_page vs vm_normal_page API highly confusing. An explicit check for zone device pages in the dozen or so spots that care has a much better documentation value, especially if accompanied by comments where it isn't entirely obvious. > page = follow_page(vma, addr, > - FOLL_GET | FOLL_MIGRATION | FOLL_REMOTE); > + FOLL_GET | FOLL_MIGRATION | FOLL_REMOTE | FOLL_LRU); Overly long line here. > +/* > + * NOTE: Technically this should goto check_pfn label.
