mm: vmscan.c: fix OOM on swap stress test
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit 0885ef4 upstream.

I found a regression on mm-unstable during my swap stress test, using
tmpfs to compile linux.  The test OOM very soon after the make spawns many
cc processes.

It bisects down to this change: 33dfe92
(mm/gup: clear the LRU flag of a page before adding to LRU batch)

Yu Zhao propose the fix: "I think this is one of the potential side
effects -- Huge mentioned earlier about isolate_lru_folios():"

I test that with it the swap stress test no longer OOM.
