35 * Mlocked pages are marked with PageMlocked() flag for efficient testing
36 * in vmscan and, possibly, the fault path; and to support semi-accurate
37 * statistics.
39 * An mlocked page [PageMlocked(page)] is unevictable. As such, it will
40 * be placed on the LRU "unevictable" list, rather than the [in]active lists.
41 * The unevictable list is an LRU sibling list to the [in]active lists.
42 * PageUnevictable is set to indicate the unevictable state.
44 * When lazy mlocking via vmscan, it is important to ensure that the
45 * vma's VM_LOCKED status is not concurrently being modified, otherwise we
46 * may have mlocked a page that is being munlocked. So lazy mlock must take
47 * the mmap_sem for read, and verify that the vma really is locked
48 * (see mm/rmap.c).

103 * can't isolate the page, we leave it for putback_lru_page() and vmscan
