If invalidate_mapping_pages() could not empty the mapping, the restarted walk strips the same inode again, and so on until nr_to_walk runs out. Every walk of that list then ends on this inode, and nothing behind it is reclaimed for as long as its cache stays. Before commit 2a0629834cd8 ("vfs: Don't evict inode under the inode lru traversing context") the walker pinned the inode with a reference, and dropping it in iput_final() set I_REFERENCED, so the restarted walk rotated the inode to the tail. Set I_REFERENCED again when the mapping is still populated after the invalidation, in the same i_lock section that clears I_LRU_ISOLATING. inode_unpin_lru_isolating() now expects i_lock to be held, like inode_pin_lru_isolating(). On CONFIG_HIGHMEM kernels this can happen to any unused inode: a folio is left behind if it is locked, under writeback, spliced into a pipe, or still in another CPU's LRU-add batch after being read. Without HIGHMEM it happens to DAX inodes whose only entry is at index 0, which mapping_shrinkable() lets onto the LRU and invalidate_mapping_pages() never removes.
