Compaction, NUMA page movement, THP collapse/split, and memory failure do isolate unevictable pages from their "LRU", losing the record of mlock_count in doing so (isolators are likely to use page->lru for their own private lists, so mlock_count has to be presumed lost). That's unfortunate, and we should put in some work to correct that: one can imagine a function to build up the mlock_count again - but it would require i_mmap_rwsem for read, so be careful where it's called. Or page_referenced_one() and try_to_unmap_one() might do that extra work. But one place that can very easily be improved is page migration's __unmap_and_move(): a small adjustment to where the successful new page is put back on LRU, and its mlock_count (if any) is built back up by remove_migration_ptes().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
