The second confusing thing is that the function is named
__ClearPageMovable(), but what it really clears is the mapping
pointer,
which is not at all the opposite of what __SetPageMovable() does.

I know it's explained in the documentation, but it also deserves a
comment here so it doesn't confuse everyone who looks at it.
Even better would be a less confusing name for the function, but I
can't offer one right now.

To me, __ClearPageMovable naming is suitable for user POV.
It effectively makes the page unmovable. The confusion is just caused
by the implementation and I don't prefer exported API depends on the
implementation. So I want to add just comment.

I didn't add comment above the function because I don't want to export
internal implementation to the user. I think they don't need to know it.

OK, that's fine!

I'd probably use READ_ONCE() here to be safe. Not all callers are
under page lock?

I don't understand. Yeah, all caller are not under page lock but at least,
new user of movable pages should call it under page_lock.
Yeah, I will write the rule down in document.
In this case, what kinds of problem do you see?

After more thinking, probably none. It wouldn't prevent any extra races. Sorry for the noise.
