Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/3] mm, lru_gen: batch update counters on againg

Hi Kairui,

Some early feedback on your patch. I am still working  my way through
your patches.
Might have more questions.

"type" need to be int, it is either  LRU_GEN_FILE or LRU_GEN_ANON.

Ideally the type is an enum that defines LRU_GEN_FILE or LRU_GEN_ANON.
bool is not the right C type of "type" here. The rest of the code uses
"int" for type as well.

I saw you use "bool type" in other patches as well. All need to change
to "int type".
