Thank you for pointing this out. It was my mistake!

I think I need to add a new helper function, like __folio_test_movable. e.g.

static __always_inline bool __folio_test_anon(const struct folio *folio)
{
        return ((unsigned long)folio->mapping & PAGE_MAPPING_FLAGS) ==
                PAGE_MAPPING_ANON;
}
