I doubt that it is safe to dereference mapping here. I believe the folio
can be truncated from under us and the mapping freed with the inode.

The folio has to be locked to dereference mapping safely (given that the
mapping is still tied to the folio).

Vlastimil, any comments?

There's even a comment to that effect later on in the function:

                        /*
                         * Only pages without mappings or that have a
                         * ->migrate_folio callback are possible to migrate
                         * without blocking. However, we can be racing with
                         * truncation so it's necessary to lock the page
                         * to stabilise the mapping as truncation holds
                         * the page lock until after the page is removed
                         * from the page cache.
                         */

(that could be reworded to make it clear how dangerous dereferencing
->mapping is without the lock ... and it does need to be changed to say
"folio lock" instead of "page lock", so ...)

How does this look?

                        /*
                         * Only folios without mappings or that have
                         * a ->migrate_folio callback are possible to

                         * cache so holding it ourselves is sufficient.
                         */

Hmm, well spotted. But it wouldn't be so great if we now had to lock every
inspected page (and not just dirty pages), just to check the AS_ bit.

But I wonder if this is leftover from previous versions. Are the guest pages
even PageLRU currently? (and should they be, given how they can't be swapped
out or anything?) If not, isolate_migratepages_block will skip them anyway.

No, they're not (migration or even swap-out is not excluded for the 
future, but for now it's left for future work.
