No, I was referring to __ClearPageActive. You are right that this is
cleared in page_off_lru but that is hidden in a release path and e.g.
compound pages are released via their destructor which for some might
not involve releasing the page - e.g. hugetlb pages. This should be fine
because hugetlb pages are not on LRU so as I've said this is fine but it
belongs to its own patch because it is not a pure mechanical change like
the rest of the patch.
