Subject[patch 3/3] mm: keep pages from unevictable mappings off the LRU lists
Date
Check if the mapping is evictable when initially adding page cache
pages to the LRU lists. If that is not the case, add them to the
unevictable list immediately instead of leaving it up to the reclaim
code to move them there.

This is useful for ramfs and locked shmem which mark whole mappings as
unevictable and we know at fault time already that it is useless to
try reclaiming these pages.
