Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] mm:vmscan: the dirty folio in folio list skip unmap
In the shrink_folio_list() the sources of the file dirty folio include
two ways below:
1. The dirty folio is from the incoming parameter folio_list,
which is the inactive file lru.
2. The dirty folio is from the PTE dirty bit transferred by
the try_to_unmap().
For the first source of the dirty folio, if the dirty folio does not
support pageout, the dirty folio can skip unmap in advance to reduce
recyling time.
Signed-off-by: Zhiguo Jiang <justinjiang@...o.com>

Changelog:
v1->v2:
1. Keep the original judgment flow.
2. Add the interface of folio_check_pageout().
3. The dirty folio which does not support pageout in inactive file lru
skip unmap in advance.
