[PATCH] mm: page-writeback: simplify memcg handling in test_clear_page_writeback()
From: Johannes Weiner
Date: Tue Feb 09 2021 - 20:15:54 EST
Page writeback doesn't hold a page reference, which allows truncate to
free a page the second PageWriteback is cleared. This used to require
special attention in test_clear_page_writeback(), where we had to be
careful not to rely on the unstable page->memcg binding and look up
all the necessary information before clearing the writeback flag.
Since commit 073861ed77b6 ("mm: fix VM_BUG_ON(PageTail) and
BUG_ON(PageWriteback)") test_clear_page_writeback() is called with an
explicit reference on the page, and this dance is no longer needed.
Use unlock_page_memcg() and dec_lruvec_page_stat() directly.
