The aging feedback is based on both the number of generations and the distribution of folios in each generation. The number of generations is currently the distance between max_seq and anon min_seq. This is because anon min_seq is not allowed to move past file min_seq. The rationale for that is that file is always evictable whereas anon is not. However, for use cases where anon is a lot cheaper than file: 1. Anon in the second oldest generation can be a better choice than file in the oldest generation. 2. A large amount of file in the oldest generation can skew the distribution, making should_run_aging() return false negative. Allow anon and file min_seq to move independently, and use solely the number of generations as the feedback for aging. Specifically, when both anon and file are evictable, anon min_seq can now be greater than file min_seq, and therefore the number of generations becomes the distance between max_seq and min(min_seq[0],min_seq[1]). And should_run_aging() returns true if and only if the number of generations is less than MAX_NR_GENS. As the first step to the final optimization, this change by itself should not have userspace-visiable effects beyond performance. The next twos patch will take advantage of this change; the last patch in this series will better distribute folios across MAX_NR_GENS.
