Thanks a lot for your attention to details!

The first line should be in the next patch but I overlooked during the
last refactoring:

  new_gen = ((new_flags & LRU_GEN_MASK) >> LRU_GEN_PGOFF) - 1;
+ /* folio_update_gen() has promoted this page? */
+ if (new_gen >= 0 && new_gen != old_gen)
+ return new_gen;
+
  new_gen = (old_gen + 1) % MAX_NR_GENS;
