In case you don’t know Multi-Gen LRU is an alternative LRU implementation that optimizes page reclaim and improves performance under memory pressure. Page reclaim decides the kernel’s caching policy and ability to overcommit memory. It directly impacts the kswapd CPU usage and RAM efficiency.

Has anyone enabled this feature on their machines? Have you noticed any performance gains or memory management improvements? It’s developed by Google and is reportedly is being used in ChromeOS and Android.

    Ah, then where in the menuconfig is this option located, if I need to build my own kernel…

      Use the search function and look for LRU_GEN. Try make nconfig while you’re at it, it’s the new terminal config menu system.

        man, make nconfig is such a life savior when configuring a new kernel, it’s great
