Evictable pages are divided into multiple generations for each lruvec.
The youngest generation number is stored in lrugen->max_seq for both
anon and file types as they are aged on an equal footing. The oldest
generation numbers are stored in lrugen->min_seq[] separately for anon
and file types as clean file pages can be evicted regardless of swap
constraints. These three variables are monotonically increasing.

Generation numbers are truncated into order_base_2(MAX_NR_GENS+1) bits
in order to fit into the gen counter in folio->flags. Each truncated
generation number is an index to lrugen->lists[]. The sliding window
technique is used to track at least MIN_NR_GENS and at most
MAX_NR_GENS generations. The gen counter stores a value within [1,
MAX_NR_GENS] while a page is on one of lrugen->lists[]. Otherwise it
stores 0.

There are two conceptually independent procedures: "the aging", which
produces young generations, and "the eviction", which consumes old
generations. They form a closed-loop system, i.e., "the page reclaim".
Both procedures can be invoked from userspace for the purposes of
working set estimation and proactive reclaim. These features are
required to optimize job scheduling (bin packing) in data centers. The
variable size of the sliding window is designed for such use cases
[1][2].

To avoid confusion, the terms "hot" and "cold" will be applied to the
multi-gen LRU, as a new convention; the terms "active" and "inactive"
will be applied to the active/inactive LRU, as usual.

The protection of hot pages and the selection of cold pages are based
on page access channels and patterns. There are two access channels:
one through page tables and the other through file descriptors. The
protection of the former channel is by design stronger because:
1. The uncertainty in determining the access patterns of the former
   channel is higher due to the approximation of the accessed bit.
2. The cost of evicting the former channel is higher due to the TLB
   flushes required and the likelihood of encountering the dirty bit.
3. The penalty of underprotecting the former channel is higher because
   applications usually do not prepare themselves for major page
   faults like they do for blocked I/O. E.g., GUI applications
   commonly use dedicated I/O threads to avoid blocking the rendering
   threads.
There are also two access patterns: one with temporal locality and the
other without. For the reasons listed above, the former channel is
assumed to follow the former pattern unless VM_SEQ_READ or
VM_RAND_READ is present; the latter channel is assumed to follow the
latter pattern unless outlying refaults have been observed.

The next patch will address the "outlying refaults". A few macros,
i.e., LRU_REFS_*, used later are added in this patch to make the
patchset less diffy.

A page is added to the youngest generation on faulting. The aging
needs to check the accessed bit at least twice before handing this
page over to the eviction. The first check takes care of the accessed
bit set on the initial fault; the second check makes sure this page
has not been used since then. This protocol, AKA second chance,
requires a minimum of two generations, hence MIN_NR_GENS.

I still think this part is fundamentally wrong:

Pick a value. Don't ask a user for a value.

If you don't know what the value should be, the user sure as hell doesn't.

And if you don't pick a value for people to test, then people will
test random values and dilute and make the testing less valid in the
process.

There is absolutely no upside to asking people a question like this,
and only downsides.

If the quoted "schedulign optimizations" are real, then maybe bigger
values should be the default? Or maybe it should be a run-time
tunable, so that people can actually _test_ them?

Or - more likely - that config variable just shouldn't exist, at least
in some initial series, and you just should say "we use four
generations, we can tweak this if people have hard numbers later".
