Ouch, you're right, I was wrong - the trylock drop is a pre-existing
issue, not caused by the reorder ;)


Nice, LGTM!

Given that the "trylock -> drop" behavior seems to exist already today,
do you think it's worth fixing that together with the reorder?

I'd do it in a single shot if possible.

ACK.

Can you craft something? (cc stable etc)

certainly, will do! But commit[1] ("mm: migrate: requeue destination
folio on deferred split queue") is only in mm-stable now, not yet
upstream/stable ...

It's tricky. The original commit will be backported to stable kernels,
so we want also the fix to be backported to the same stable kernels.

The commit id in mm-stable is "stable" now.

Emm... Not a big deal, I guess. We can always submit a stable backport once that fix gets merged into stable :D
