Hugh Dickins 9422cfa89e mm: revert "mm/gup: clear the LRU flag of a page before adding to LRU batch"
[ Upstream commit afb99e9f500485160f34b8cad6d3763ada3e80e8 ]

This reverts commit 33dfe9204f29: now that
collect_longterm_unpinnable_folios() is checking ref_count instead of lru,
and mlock/munlock do not participate in the revised LRU flag clearing,
those changes are misleading, and enlarge the window during which
mlock/munlock may miss an mlock_count update.

It is possible (I'd hesitate to claim probable) that the greater
likelihood of missed mlock_count updates would explain the "Realtime
threads delayed due to kcompactd0" observed on 6.12 in the Link below.  If
that is the case, this reversion will help; but a complete solution needs
also a further patch, beyond the scope of this series.

Included some 80-column cleanup around folio_batch_add_and_move().

The role of folio_test_clear_lru() (before taking per-memcg lru_lock) is
questionable since 6.13 removed mem_cgroup_move_account() etc; but perhaps
there are still some races which need it - not examined here.

Linux kernel

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use make htmldocs or make pdfdocs. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
