However, there are the following challenges: 1. Each lruvec has between MIN_NR_GENS and MAX_NR_GENS generations, the number of generations of the parent and child memcg may be different, so we cannot simply transfer MGLRU folios in the child memcg to the parent memcg as we did for traditional LRU folios. 2. The generation information is stored in folio->flags, but we cannot traverse these folios while holding the lru lock, otherwise it may cause softlockup. 3. In walk_update_folio(), the gen of folio and corresponding lru size may be updated, but the folio is not immediately moved to the corresponding lru list. Therefore, there may be folios of different generations on an LRU list. 4. In lru_gen_del_folio(), the generation to which the folio belongs is found based on the generation information in folio->flags, and the corresponding LRU size will be updated. Therefore, we need to update the lru size correctly during reparenting, otherwise the lru size may be updated incorrectly in lru_gen_del_folio(). Finally, this patch chose a compromise method, which is to splice the lru list in the child memcg to the lru list of the same generation in the parent memcg during reparenting. And in order to ensure that the parent memcg has the same generation, we need to increase the generations in the parent memcg to the MAX_NR_GENS before reparenting. Of course, the same generation has different meanings in the parent and child memcg, this will cause confusion in the hot and cold information of folios. But other than that, this method is simple enough, the lru size is correct, and there is no need to consider some concurrency issues (such as lru_gen_del_folio()). To prepare for the above work, this commit implements the specific functions, which will be used during reparenting.
