The quilt patch titled Subject: mm: revert "mm/gup: clear the LRU flag of a page before adding to LRU batch" has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-revert-mm-gup-clear-the-lru-flag-of-a-page-before-adding-to-lru-batch.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
------------------------------------------------------ From: Hugh Dickins hughd@google.com Subject: mm: revert "mm/gup: clear the LRU flag of a page before adding to LRU batch" Date: Mon, 8 Sep 2025 15:19:17 -0700 (PDT)
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.
