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 lru_note_cost_refault() and
lru_activate().

nit: the above paragraph looks incorrect.

Right, will fix it in the version.


This serves as a preparatory measure for the reparenting of the
LRU pages.
