From: Qi Zheng <zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com>

Changes in v4:
- add split_queue_lock*() and let folio_split_queue_lock*() to use them.
(I have kept everyone's Acked-bys and Reviewed-bys. If you need to discard
it, please let me know.)
- let deferred_split_scan() to use split_queue_lock_irqsave(), which will fix
the race problem in [PATCH v3 4/4].
(Muchun Song)
- collect Reviewed-bys
- rebase onto the next-20251002

Changes in v3:
- use css_is_dying() in folio_split_queue_lock*() to check if memcg is dying
(David Hildenbrand, Shakeel Butt and Zi Yan)
- modify the commit message in [PATCH v2 4/4]
(Roman Gushchin)
- fix the build error in [PATCH v2 4/4]
- collect Acked-bys and Reviewed-bys
- rebase onto the next-20250926

Changes in v2:
- fix build errors in [PATCH 2/4] and [PATCH 4/4]
- some cleanups for [PATCH 3/4] (suggested by David Hildenbrand)
- collect Acked-bys and Reviewed-bys
- rebase onto the next-20250922

Hi all,

In the future, we will reparent LRU folios during memcg offline to eliminate
dying memory cgroups, which requires reparenting the THP split queue to its
parent memcg.

Similar to list_lru, the split queue is relatively independent and does not need
to be reparented along with objcg and LRU folios (holding objcg lock and lru
lock). Therefore, we can apply the same mechanism as list_lru to reparent the
split queue first when memcg is offine.

The first three patches in this series are separated from the series
"Eliminate Dying Memory Cgroup" [1], mainly to do some cleanup and preparatory
work.

The last patch reparents the THP split queue to its parent memcg during memcg
offline.

Comments and suggestions are welcome!

Thanks,
Qi
