Baolin Wang 2f05435df9 mm: vmscan: simplify the logic for activating dirty file folios 
After commit 6b0dfabb35 ("fs: Remove aops->writepage"), we no longer
attempt to write back filesystem folios through reclaim.

However, in the shrink_folio_list() function, there still remains some
logic related to writeback control of dirty file folios.  The original
logic was that, for direct reclaim, or when folio_test_reclaim() is false,
or the PGDAT_DIRTY flag is not set, the dirty file folios would be
directly activated to avoid being scanned again; otherwise, it will try to
writeback the dirty file folios.  However, since we can no longer perform
writeback on dirty folios, the dirty file folios will still be activated.

Additionally, under the original logic, if we continue to try writeback
dirty file folios, we will also check the references flag,
sc->may_writepage, and may_enter_fs(), which may result in dirty file
folios being left in the inactive list.  This is unreasonable.  Even if
these dirty folios are scanned again, we still cannot clean them.

Therefore, the checks on these dirty file folios appear to be redundant
and can be removed.  Dirty file folios should be directly moved to the
active list to avoid being scanned again.  Since we set the PG_reclaim
flag for the dirty folios, once the writeback is completed, they will be
moved back to the tail of the inactive list to be retried for quick
reclaim.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
