Ah, you can't instantiate the list on-demand in list_lru_add() because
that's happening in an atomic context. So you need the lru available
in the broader xa update context and group the lru setup in with the
other pre-atomic node allocation bits. Fair enough. I think it would
be a bit easier to read if this patch and the previous one were
squashed (workingset is the only user of xa_lru anyway) and you added
that explanation. But other than that, the changes make sense to me;
to a combined patch, please add:
