If we call folio_isolate_lru() successfully, we will get
return value 0. We need to add this folio to the
movable_pages_list.

Thanks.  What are the user-visible effects of this bug?

Hi Andrew,

I didn't hit bug on real devices. I observe this issue
by tracing get_user_pages() call flow.

Thanks.

Ugh, thanks for catching this:

In the common case none other than an extra loop through
collect_longterm_unpinnable_pages():

1. First call to collect_longterm_unpinnable_pages() will increment
   collected and isolate the page but not add it to movable_page_list.

2. migrate_longterm_unpinnable_pages() will return -EAGAIN and unpin all
   the pages but they will remain LRU isolated.

3. The next spin around __gup_longterm_locked() will re-pin the pages
   and re-call collect_longterm_unpinnable_pages(). As the page has
   already been isolated folio_isolate_lru() will return -EBUSY which
   will add the page to movable_page_list and complete processing as
   intended.

However this assumes the page table still points to the same page when
__get_user_pages_locked() is called the second time. That may not be the
case in which case we would leave the page LRU isolated forever
effectively leaving an unmovable page in a movable zone which is what we
were trying to avoid in the first place.

So I think Cc: stable is warranted.

Agreed that this deserves cc:stable
