Subject: mm/migrate: copy all referenced state via folio_migrate_lru_refs
Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2026 01:53:36 +0800

folio_migrate_flags() copies PG_referenced separately from the MGLRU refs
counter, which folio_migrate_refs() transfers.  Yet under MGLRU,
PG_referenced and the refs counter bits together describe the referenced
status of a folio.

Consolidate the two: rename folio_migrate_refs() to
folio_migrate_lru_refs() and let it copy the complete referenced status,
i.e., the MGLRU refs count including PG_referenced, or just PG_referenced
for the active/inactive LRU.  Drop the open-coded PG_referenced copy so
the referenced status is transferred in one place.  No behavior change is
intended: under the active/inactive LRU the extra bits are unused, so
operating on them is a noop.

Transfer the reference state first, before the destination folio is marked
uptodate, so a concurrent lockless reader cannot have its reference update
overwritten by the copy.
