CONFIG_EVICTION_NRU

Not Recently Used (NRU) page eviction algorithm

Type: bool

Help

This implements a Not Recently Used page eviction algorithm.
A periodic timer will clear the accessed state of all virtual pages.
When a page frame needs to be evicted, the algorithm will prefer to
evict page frames using an ascending order of priority:

 - recently accessed, dirty
 - recently accessed, clean
 - not recently accessed, dirty
 - not recently accessed, clean
