[PATCH 1/2] mm/zswap: don't return LRU_SKIP if we have dropped lru lock

From: chengming . zhou
Date: Fri Jan 26 2024 - 04:17:10 EST


From: Chengming Zhou <zhouchengming@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

LRU_SKIP can only be returned if we don't ever dropped lru lock, or
we need to return LRU_RETRY to restart from the head of lru list.

Actually we may need to introduce another LRU_STOP to really terminate
the ongoing shrinking scan process, when we encounter a warm page
already in the swap cache. The current list_lru implementation
doesn't have this function to early break from __list_lru_walk_one.

Fixes: b5ba474f3f51 ("zswap: shrink zswap pool based on memory pressure")
