From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> __remove_mapping() only deals with pages with mappings, meaning page cache and swap cache. At this point, the page has been removed from the mapping's radix tree, and we need to ensure that any fs-specific (or swap- specific) resources are freed up. We will be using this function from a second location in a following patch.
