Damn it. I forgot to remap the folio to the page table since we've cleared
the PTE here.

But it seems like we neither need to do that, nor unmark a PMD-mapped folio
as lazyfree in unmap_huge_pmd_locked(); the next block[1] will catch the
folio and do the same thing.

Hi David and Baolin, what do you think?

[1] https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.10-rc3/source/mm/rmap.c#L1820

/* MADV_FREE page check */
if (!folio_test_swapbacked(folio)) {
	int ref_count, map_count;

[...]
	/*
	 * The only page refs must be one from isolation
	 * plus the rmap(s) (dropped by discard:).
	 */
	if (ref_count == 1 + map_count &&
	    !folio_test_dirty(folio)) {
		dec_mm_counter(mm, MM_ANONPAGES);
		goto discard;
	}

	/*
	 * If the folio was redirtied, it cannot be
	 * discarded. Remap the page to page table.
	 */
	set_pte_at(mm, address, pvmw.pte, pteval);
	folio_set_swapbacked(folio);
	goto walk_done_err;
}


Thanks,
Lance
