Actually above is still not thread safe. multiple threads can test partially_mapped and see its false at the same time and all of them would then increment stats. I believe !folio_test_set_partially_mapped would be best. Hopefully below diff over v3 should cover all the fixes that have come up until now.

Independent of this series, I also think its a good idea to add a selftest for this deferred_split counter. I will send a separate patch for it that just maps a THP, unmaps a small part from it and checks the counter. I think split_huge_page_test.c is probably the right place for it.

If everyone is happy with it, Andrew could replace the original fix patch in [1] with below.

    mm: Introduce a pageflag for partially mapped folios fix
    
    Fixes the original commit by not clearing partially mapped bit
    in hugeTLB folios and fixing deferred split THP stats.
