I don't think this get_page() call needs to be up here. It could be
left down before we delete the page from the LRU list as it is really
needed to take a reference on the page before we call
__munlock_isolated_page(), or at least that is the way it looks to me.
By doing that you can avoid a bunch of cleanup in these exception
cases.

I'm not sure I fully understand the reason for moving this here. By
clearing this flag before you clear Mlocked does this give you some
sort of extra protection? I don't see how since Mlocked doesn't
necessarily imply the page is on LRU.

You could just place the get_page() call here.

If you move the get_page() as I suggested above there wouldn't be a
need for the put_page(). It then becomes possible to simplify the code
a bit by merging the unlock paths and doing an if/else with the
__munlock functions like so:
if (clearlru) {
    ...
    del_page_from_lru..
}

spin_unlock_irq()

if (clearlru)
    __munlock_isolated_page();
else
    __munlock_isolated_failed();

I still don't see what you are gaining by moving the bit test up to
this point. Seems like it would be better left below with the lock
just being used to prevent a possible race while you are pulling the
page out of the LRU list.

With the other function you were processing this outside of the lock,
here you are doing it inside. It would probably make more sense here
to follow similar logic and take care of the del_page_from_lru_list
ifr clealru is set, unlock, and then if clearlru is set continue else
track the isolation failure. That way you can avoid having to use as
many jump labels.
