All caps. Really? It's NOT VERY PRETTY AND MAKES MY EYES DEAF WHICH
SHOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE.
What's wrong with
enum isolate_mode {
}
? It's reasonable that the constants themselves are in caps. It's
expected for defines and enum values.

No need to explicitly define like this. i.e. drop the = 1, = 2 etc.
The leader does not explain why ISOLATE_BOTH is replaced and what it
gains us.

And the meaning of isolate_mode has changed. This affects users of the
tracepoint. Documentation/trace/postprocess/trace-vmscan-postprocess.pl
will consider ISOLATE_NONE to be scanning for example.

Ahh, so you assign the enum to user it as a flag. That's very
unexpected to me. Why did you not do something like gfp_t which is a
bitwise type?
Because mode is a bitmask, it's also impossible to check if
ISOLATE_NONE is set. As ISOLATE_NONE is not used in this patch,
it's hard to know at this point what it's for.

both_lru would be a better name because all LRU implies that UNEVICTABLE
is involved which is not the case.

While this looks ok, I do not see why it's better.

Overall, I'm failing to see how this patch helps but maybe it's because
I haven't read the rest of the series. My main gripe is that meaning
of isolate_mode in the tracepoint has changed without any clear gain.
