Hi Zhang Peng,

I am happy to review your `shrink_folio_list()` refactoring series, but
I really don't think it should be split up, as the refactoring is
closely tied to your final patch, "batch dirty TLBI".

Without the last patch, the refactoring doesn't really stand on its own.
So I'd prefer you to keep all five patches together as a single patchset.

Best Regards
Barry
