Hey David,

Maybe I spotted a bug below.

Thanks for the review!


[...]
   static inline bool folio_likely_mapped_shared(struct folio *folio)
   {
-     return page_mapcount(folio_page(folio, 0)) > 1;
+     int mapcount = folio_mapcount(folio);
+
+     /* Only partially-mappable folios require more care. */
+     if (!folio_test_large(folio) || unlikely(folio_test_hugetlb(folio)))
+             return mapcount > 1;
+
+     /* A single mapping implies "mapped exclusively". */
+     if (mapcount <= 1)
+             return false;
+
+     /* If any page is mapped more than once we treat it "mapped shared". */
+     if (folio_entire_mapcount(folio) || mapcount > folio_nr_pages(folio))
+             return true;

bug: if a PMD-mapped THP is exclusively mapped, the folio_entire_mapcount()
function will return 1 (atomic_read(&folio->_entire_mapcount) + 1).

If it's exclusively mapped, then folio_mapcount(folio)==1. In which case
the previous statement:

if (mapcount <= 1)
         return false;

Catches it.

You're right!


IOW, once we reach this point we now that folio_mapcount(folio) > 1, and
there must be something else besides the entire mapping ("more than once").


Or did I not address your concern?

Sorry, my mistake :(

No worries, thanks for the review and thinking this through!
