Subject: [PATCH 1/4] mm/vmscan: introduce folio_activate_locked() helper
Date: Sun, 20 Sep 2026 22:24:14 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260920-vmscan-refactor-v1-1-ec04d71cb761@tencent.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260920-vmscan-refactor-v1-0-ec04d71cb761@tencent.com>
From: Zhang Peng <bruzzhang@tencent.com>
The activate_locked label in shrink_folio_list() reclaims swap cache
when needed, marks the folio active, and updates activation statistics.
Extract this block into folio_activate_locked() so it can be reused.
Replace the active-folio BUG with a warning so a bad caller is reported
without taking down the system. Otherwise, there is no functional change.
