Page must be getted and locked before calling aops method, somethin like this:

If (!PageLRU(page)) {
   if (PageBalloon(page) || PageMobile(page))
       if (get_page_unless_zero(page))
           if (try_lock(page))
              if (page->mapping && page->mapping->a_ops->isolatepage)
                  page->mapping->a_ops->isolate_page(page, ...)
....
