We don't scan anon LRU unless we know we may be able to swap. Even if there is swap space, we may still not be able to swap.

I know this is not a common case, and I can drop this patch if it is less helpful.

Add swap available space validation before spliting shmem large folio to avoid redundant split, since we can not write shmem folio to the swap device in this case. Signed-off-by: Baolin Wang <baolin.wang@linux.alibaba.com> --- mm/vmscan.c | 8 ++++++++ 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+)
