This code used to have its own lru cache pagevec up until a0b8cab3 ("mm: remove lru parameter from __pagevec_lru_add and remove parts of pagevec API"). Now it's just add_to_page_cache() followed by...
View Article[patch 07/10] mm + fs: store shadow entries in page cache (no replies)
Reclaim will be leaving shadow entries in the page cache radix tree upon evicting the real page. As those pages are found from the LRU, an iput() can lead to the inode being freed concurrently. At...

Page cache radix tree slots are usually stabilized by the page lock, but shmem's swap cookies have no such thing. Because the overall truncation loop is lockless, the swap entry is currently confirmed...
