We're going to allow mapping of individual 4k pages of THP compound
page. It means we cannot rely on PageTransHuge() check to decide if
map/unmap small page or THP.
The patch adds new argument to rmap functions to indicate whether we want
to operate on whole compound page or only the small page.

But I wonder about one thing:
-void page_remove_rmap(struct page *page)
+void page_remove_rmap(struct page *page, bool compound)
{
+ int nr = compound ? hpage_nr_pages(page) : 1;
+
if (!PageAnon(page)) {
+ VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(compound && !PageHuge(page), page);
page_remove_file_rmap(page);
return;
}
The function continues by:
/* page still mapped by someone else? */
if (!atomic_add_negative(-1, &page->_mapcount))
return;
/* Hugepages are not counted in NR_ANON_PAGES for now. */
if (unlikely(PageHuge(page)))
return;
The handling of compound parameter for PageHuge() pages feels just
weird. You use hpage_nr_pages() for them which tests PageTransHuge(). It
doesn't break anything and the value of nr is effectively ignored
anyway, but still...
So I wonder, if all callers of page_remove_rmap() for PageHuge() pages
are the two in mm/hugetlb.c, why not just create a special case
function? Or are some callers elsewhere, not aware whether they are
calling this on a PageHuge()? So compound might be even false for those?
If that's all possible and legal, then maybe explain it in a comment to
reduce confusion of further readers. And move the 'nr' assignment to a
place where we are sure it's not a PageHuge(), i.e. right above the
place the value is used, perhaps?
