Subject: [PATCH 05/10] mm: remove LRU balancing effect of temporary page isolation
Isolating an existing LRU page and subsequently putting it back on the
list currently influences the balance between the anon and file LRUs.
For example, heavy page migration or compaction could influence the
balance between the LRUs and make one type more attractive when that
type of page is affected more than the other. That doesn't make sense.
Add a dedicated LRU cache for putback, so that we can tell new LRU
pages from existing ones at the time of linking them to the lists.
