  The reason that folio_referenced() returns negative is because
rwc.contended is 1, vm_flags is 0 at this time and so there is
no need to detect VM_EXEC. And only when referenced > 0, pra->vm_flags
will be filled with vma->vm_flags in folio_referenced_one().

I suspect this email did not make it through the linux-mm server.  I
can't find it in my archive or at https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/.

So please resend?  Prior to doing so, please update the changelog to
describe the before- and after- userspace visible effects of the
change.

Thanks.
