[PATCH RFC 23/28] mm: workingset: prevent lruvec release in workingset_activation()
From: Muchun Song
Date: Mon Apr 14 2025 - 22:52:39 EST
In the near future, a folio will no longer pin its corresponding
memory cgroup. So an lruvec returned by folio_lruvec() could be
released without the rcu read lock or a reference to its memory
cgroup.
In the current patch, the rcu read lock is employed to safeguard
against the release of the lruvec in workingset_activation().
This serves as a preparatory measure for the reparenting of the
LRU pages.
