[PATCH] mm/page_idle: call folio_test_lru() after folio_get()
From: Jiale Yao
Date: Wed Jul 22 2026 - 05:37:15 EST
page_idle_get_folio() speculatively calls folio_test_lru() before
folio_try_get(). The folio can get freed and reallocated to a tail page
in the meantime. In that case, VM_BUG_ON_PGFLAGS() in
const_folio_flags() can be triggered. Remove the speculative call.
Also mark the folio_test_lru() check right after folio_try_get() success
as no more unlikely.
This is a sibling-path bug: damon_get_folio() was copied from this
function with the same flawed pattern. Commit d6b8b02a27b3
("mm/damon/ops-common: call folio_test_lru() after folio_get()") fixed
damon_get_folio(), but page_idle_get_folio() was left unfixed. KCSAN
(strict mode) confirms the data race on the folio flags:
BUG: KCSAN: data-race in ... / percpu_counter_add_batch
page_idle_get_folio+0x7a/0x2d0
page_idle_bitmap_read+0xc9/0x220
