Currently DAX folio/page reference counts are managed differently to
normal pages. To allow these to be managed the same as normal pages
introduce vmf_insert_folio_pud. This will map the entire PUD-sized folio
and take references as it would for a normally mapped page.

This is distinct from the current mechanism, vmf_insert_pfn_pud, which
simply inserts a special devmap PUD entry into the page table without
holding a reference to the page for the mapping.

Hi,

The patch subject of this (and especially the next patch) is misleading. Likely you meant to have it as:

"mm/huge_memory: add vmf_insert_folio_pud() for mapping PUD sized pages"

If you simply reuse that code (here and on the adding path), you will end up effectively setting nr_pmdmapped to a very large value and passing that into __folio_mod_stat().

There, we will adjust NR_SHMEM_PMDMAPPED/NR_FILE_PMDMAPPED, which is wrong (it's PUD mapped ;) ).

It's probably best to split out the rmap changes from the other things in this patch.
