Are you seeing measurable changes for any workloads?  It certainly seems
like you should, but it would help if you chose a test from mmtests and
showed how performance changed on your system.
In one mmtest, the max times for a invalid recyling of a folio_list dirty
folio that does not support pageout and has been activated in
shrink_folio_list() are: cost=51us, exe=2365us.

Calculate according to this formula: dirty_cost / total_cost * 100%, the
recyling efficiency of dirty folios can be improved 53.13%、82.95%.

So this patch can optimize shrink efficiency and reduce the workload of
kswapd to a certain extent.

I appreciate that you can put probes in and determine the cost, but do
you see improvements for a real workload?  Like doing a kernel compile
-- does it speed up at all?
Can you help share a method for testing thread workload, like kswapd?
Something dirt simple like 'time make -j8'.
Two compilations were conducted separately, and compared to the unmodified compilation, the compilation time for adding modified patches had a certain reduction, as follows:

Compilation command:
make distclean -j8
make ARCH=x86_64 x86_64_defconfig
time make -j8

1.Unmodified Compilation time:
real    2m40.276s
user    16m2.956s
sys     2m14.738s

real    2m40.136s
user    16m2.617s
sys     2m14.722s

2.[Patch v2 1/2] Modified Compilation time:
real    2m40.067s

sys     2m14.211s

real    2m40.123s

3.[Patch v2 1/2] + [Patch v2 2/2] Modified Compilation time:
