Oh correct. 

Except the case of (!folio_trylock(folio)), shrink_folio_list would count at sc->nr_scanned.
I don't understand why we do not count this lock case though.

Let me try to change as you suggested.
I think without 'after - before', we can just use sc->nr_scanned after shrink_folio_list.

Thank you
