Yeah. Abstracting the details just enough that filesystems don't have
to know that i_mapped is atomic64 etc.

But the number of memory mappings reflects the state of the address
space, not the inode. Or maybe put another way, if I were an mm
developer I would not expect to look in struct inode for mm state.
static inline bool inode_has_mappings(struct inode *inode)
{
return atomic64_read(&inode->i_mapping->mapcount) > 0;
}
OTOH if there exist other mm developers who /do/ find that storing the
mmap count in struct inode is more logical, please let me know. :)
