From: Hugh Dickins <hughd@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/thp: ClearPageDoubleMap in first page_add_file_rmap() PageDoubleMap is maintained differently for anon and for shmem+file: the shmem+file one was never cleared, because a safe place to do so could not be found; so it would blight future use of the cached hugepage until evicted. See https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1571938066-29031-1-git-send-email-yang.shi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ But page_add_file_rmap() does provide a safe place to do so (though later than one might wish): allowing testing to return to an initial state without a damaging drop_caches.
