Thanks, so the evicted BOs should be behind the BOs in idle list that in
the group between (first, last) of bulk_move_pos, right?

        spin_lock(&glob->lru_lock);
        list_for_each_entry(bo_base, &vm->idle, vm_status) {
                struct amdgpu_bo *bo = bo_base->bo;

                if (!bo->parent)
                        continue;

                ttm_bo_move_to_lru_tail(&bo->tbo, &vm->lru_bulk_move);
                if (bo->shadow)
                        ttm_bo_move_to_lru_tail(&bo->shadow->tbo,
                                                &vm->lru_bulk_move);
        }
        list_for_each_entry_safe(bo_base, tmp, &vm->evicted, vm_status) {
                struct amdgpu_bo *bo = bo_base->bo;
                if (!bo)
                        continue;

                ttm_bo_move_to_lru_tail(&bo->tbo, &vm->lru_bulk_move);
                if (bo->shadow)
                        ttm_bo_move_to_lru_tail(&bo->shadow->tbo,
                                                &vm->lru_bulk_move);
        }
        spin_unlock(&glob->lru_lock);
