It seems unlikely to me since the page has to be isolated from lru
before migration. The isolating from lru is atomic, so the two threads
unlikely see the same pages on both lists.
But there might be other cases which may incur deadlock, for example,
filesystem writeback IIUC. Some filesystems may lock a bunch of pages
then write them back in a batch. The same pages may be on the
migration list and they are also dirty and seen by writeback. I'm not
sure whether I miss something that could prevent such a deadlock from
happening.
