Folios in zones above sc->reclaim_idx can never be isolated, so sort_folio() rotated them to a younger generation, the "ineligible" branch, or, when only one gen was left, skipped them. This wasted scan work on every pass, and the rotation kept the protected folios from aging. Restrict both the scan and the gen selection to the eligible zones, like the legacy LRU, which only isolates folios in zones up to reclaim_idx: - lruvec_populated_min_seq() takes a zone_limit, so the oldest populated gen is searched only among the zones the scan can reclaim from. A gen populated only in protected zones no longer stalls the scan. - scan_folios() iterates the eligible zones in the descending order of the legacy zonelist walk, draining the zone at reclaim_idx first. - The ineligible branch of sort_folio() is now dead and removed, with a VM_WARN_ON_ONCE_FOLIO() guarding the new invariant. try_to_inc_min_seq() still considers all zones, so min_seq[type] is only bumped once the oldest gen is empty everywhere. At DEF_PRIORITY the search bound stays min_seq[type], so the scan still starts from the oldest gen regardless of whether it is populated.
