+	  A high performance LRU implementation to heavily overcommit workloads
+	  that are not IO bound. See Documentation/vm/multigen_lru.rst for

+

+config LRU_GEN_ENABLED
+	bool "Turn on by default"
+	depends on LRU_GEN
+	help
+	  The default value of /sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/enabled is 0. This option
+	  changes it to 1.
+
+	  Warning: the default value is the fast path. See
+	  Documentation/static-keys.txt for details.

+config LRU_GEN_STATS
+	bool "Full stats for debugging"
+	depends on LRU_GEN
+	help
+	  This option keeps full stats for each generation, which can be read
+	  from /sys/kernel/debug/lru_gen_full.
+
+	  Warning: do not enable this option unless you plan to use it because
+	  it introduces an additional small per-process and per-memcg and
+	  per-node memory overhead.

+	  This will use order_base_2(N+1) spare bits from page flags.
+
+	  Warning: do not use numbers larger than necessary because each

+
+config TIERS_PER_GEN
