[PATCH 2/2] mm: multi-gen lru: fix stat count

From: Huan Yang
Date: Wed Oct 18 2023 - 04:22:18 EST


For multi-gen lru reclaim in evict_folios, like shrink_inactive_list,
gather folios which isolate to reclaim, and invoke shirnk_folio_list.

But, when complete shrink, it not gather shrink reclaim stat into sc,
we can't get info like nr_dirty\congested in reclaim, and then
control writeback, dirty number and mark as LRUVEC_CONGESTED, or
just bpf trace shrink and get correct sc stat.

This patch fix this by simple copy code from shrink_inactive_list when
end of shrink list.
