Hello

Only pages in cc->migratepages will be handled by migrate_pages or
putback_movable_pages, and NR_ISOLATED_FILE will be counted properly.
However mlocked pages will not be put back into cc->migratepages,
and also not be counted in NR_ISOLATED_FILE because putback_lru_page
in shrink_page_list does not increase NR_ISOLATED_FILE.
The current reclaim_clean_pages_from_list assumes that shrink_page_list
returns number of pages removed from the candidate list.

i.e)
isolate_migratepages_range    : NR_ISOLATED_FILE += 10
reclaim_clean_pages_from_list : NR_ISOLATED_FILE -= 5 (1 mlocked page)
migrate_pages                 : NR_ISOLATED_FILE -=4
=> NR_ISOLATED_FILE increased by 1

Thank you.
