From 03c84c9e6419ab12456c0964e4418b33a6733513 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Konstantin Khlebnikov Date: Thu, 25 Aug 2011 09:47:12 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] Logic added in commit 8cab4754d24a0 ("vmscan: make mapped executable pages the first class citizen") was noticeably weakened in commit 645747462435d84 ("vmscan: detect mapped file pages used only once"). Currently these pages can become "first class citizens" only after second usage. After this patch page_check_references() will activate they after first usage, and executable code gets yet better chance to stay in memory.
