Subject: [PATCH v5 3/6] mm/migrate: copy all referenced state via folio_migrate_lru_refs
Date: Wed, 02 Sep 2026 17:50:56 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260902-mglru-flags-cleanup-v5-3-9db761d779ef@tencent.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260902-mglru-flags-cleanup-v5-0-9db761d779ef@tencent.com>

From: Kairui Song <kasong@tencent.com>

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.
