How doest try_to_unamp handle it?

/* Page which PG_mlocked lost isolation race - let try_to_unmap() move
the page to unevitable list */

The point is to move the page into unevictable list in case of race.
Let's write down comment more clearly.
As it was, it was clear, I think. :)

How equal PAGEREF_RECLAIM_CLEAN and sc->order <= PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER
&& referenced by semantic?
Dirtyness test is already done above line by PageDirty.
So I think PAGEREF_RECLAIM_CLEAN isn't proper in there.
What's your intention I don't catch?
