Yes, this is not a bug and harmless. When we reach here, page should not be dirtied because PageDirty is handled above and there is no way to redirty it again as pagetable references are all gone and it's not in the swap cache. > > The page has only one reference left, which is from the isolation. > After the caller puts the page back on lru and drops the reference, > the page will be freed anyway. It doesn't matter which lru it goes. But it looks buggy as it didn't perform the expected ops from code view. Should I drop the Fixes tag and send a v2 version?
