Pz, Pz, Pz write down more detail in description.
You mean page_check_references in shrink_page_list decided
it as freeable page but try_to_unmap failed because someone
touched the page during the race window between page_check_references
and try_to_unmap in shrink_page_list?
If so, it's surely recent referenced page so it should be promoted
to active list.
If I missed something, please write it down more detail in description
and send a patch as new thread, not sending it to this patchset thread.
