lruvec_add_folio()
{
        ...

        if (lru != LRU_UNEVICTABLE)
                list_add(&folio->lru, &lruvec->lists[lru]); }

lruvec_add_folio_tail()
{
        ...

        /* This is not expected to be used on LRU_UNEVICTABLE */
        list_add_tail(&folio->lru, &lruvec->lists[lru]); }

struct page {
        ...
                        union {
                                struct list_head lru;

                                /* Or, for the Unevictable "LRU list" slot */
