just to guard the task migration(which would be lead to move_account)
So it isn't needed when !PageLRU, and better be fold into PageLRU to
reduce lock contentions.

That's wrong. Here PageLRU must be checked again under lru_lock.
Hi, Konstantin,

For logical remain, we can get the lock and then release for !PageLRU.
but I still can figure out the problem scenario. Would like to give more hints?

That's trivial race: page could be isolated from lru between

if (PageLRU(page))
and
spin_lock_irq(&pgdat->lru_lock);





Also I don't like these functions:
- called lock/unlock but actually also isolates
- used just once
- pgdat evaluated twice

That's right. I will fold these functions into commit_charge.

Thanks
Alex
