There is no need to remove a file from the lru every time we access it, and then add it back. It is sufficient to set the REFERENCED flag every time we put the file. The order in the lru of REFERENCED files is largely irrelevant as they will all be moved to the end. With this patch, files are added only when they are allocated (if want_gc) and they are removed only by the list_lru_(shrink_)walk callback or when forcibly removing a file. This should reduce contention on the list_lru spinlock(s) and reduce memory traffic a little.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
