Commit Message

When a folio is activated, lru_gen_add_folio() moves the folio to the
youngest generation.  But unlike folio_update_gen()/folio_inc_gen(),
lru_gen_add_folio() doesn't reset the folio lru tier bits
(LRU_REFS_MASK | LRU_REFS_FLAGS).  This inconsistency can affect how
pages are aged via folio_mark_accessed() (e.g. fd accesses), though
no user visible impact related to this has been detected yet.

Note that lru_gen_add_folio() cannot clear PG_workingset if the
activation is due to workingset refault, otherwise PSI accounting
will be skipped.  So fix lru_gen_add_folio() to clear the lru tier
bits other than PG_workingset when activating a folio, and also
clear all the lru tier bits when a folio is activated via
folio_activate() in lru_gen_look_around().

Fixes: 018ee47f1489 ("mm: multi-gen LRU: exploit locality in rmap")
