In reclaim path, if encounter a freeable page,
thetry_to_unmapmay fail, because the page's pte is dirty, we can recheck this page as normal non-freeable page, this means we can swap out this page into swap partition.
Pz, Pz, Pz write down more detail in description.
You mean page_check_references in shrink_page_list decided it as freeable page but try_to_unmap failed because someone touched the page during the race window between page_check_references and try_to_unmap in shrink_page_list?
If so, it's surely recent referenced page so it should be promoted to active list.
If I missed something, please write it down more detail in description and send a patch as new thread, not sending it to this patchset thread.
