folio_activate()'s try_cmpxchg() can land in between two lru_next reads. Logically, it is safe but I suspect KCSAN would not be happy about it. Maybe READ_ONCE() here? Other note, page_pool (pp_magic) seems to be using bit 2, but I don't think there's a real conflict. -- Kiryl Shutsemau / Kirill A. Shutemov
