Why do you need task_struct here? You already got the task in open
and got mm there so you could pass the MM here instead of task.

Looks weird function name after you changed the argument.
Maybe "bool check_valid_page(struct page *page)"?

So we could use page_idle_get_page name here.

Just minor:
Instead of creating new API, could we combine page_is_idle with
introducing furthere argument pte_check?
bool page_is_idle(struct page *page, bool pte_check);

I suggested "let's consider every swapped out pages as IDLE" but
let's think about this case:
1. mark heap of the process as IDLE
2. process touch working set
3. process's heap pages are swap out by meory spike or madvise
4. heap profiler investigates the process's IDLE page and surprised all of
heap are idle.
It's the good scenario for other purpose because non-idle pages(IOW,
workingset) could be readahead when the app will restart.
Maybe, squeeze the idle bit in the swap pte to check it.

Thanks for the comment, I was curious why you want to have
idle_page_list and the reason is here.
How about making this /proc/<pid>/page_idle per-process granuariy,
unlike system level /sys/xxx/page_idle? What I meant is not to check
rmap to see any reference from random process but just check only
access from the target process. It would be more proper as /proc/
<pid>/ interface and good for per-process tracking as well as
fast.
