[PATCHv2 01/11] mm/migrate: Transfer PG_dropbehind to the new folio

From: Kirill A. Shutemov
Date: Wed Jan 15 2025 - 04:32:29 EST


Do not lose the flag on page migration.

Ideally, these folios should be freed instead of migration. But it
requires to find right spot do this and proper testing.

Transfer the flag for now.
