Subject: [RFC PATCH 01/26] block: bdev: blockdev page cache is movable
Date:   Tue, 18 Apr 2023 15:12:48 -0400

While inspecting page blocks for the type of pages in them, I noticed
a large number of blockdev cache in unmovable blocks. However, these
pages are actually on the LRU, and their mapping has a .migrate_folio
callback; they can be reclaimed and compacted as necessary.

Put them into movable blocks, so they don't cause pollution, and
subsequent proliferation, of unmovable blocks.
