Subject: mm/memory: use folio_mapcount() in zap_present_folio_ptes()
Date: Tue, 9 Apr 2024 21:22:50 +0200
We want to limit the use of page_mapcount() to the places where it is
absolutely necessary. In zap_present_folio_ptes(), let's simply check the
folio mapcount(). If there is some issue, it will underflow at some point
either way when unmapping.
As indicated already in commit 10ebac4f95e7 ("mm/memory: optimize
unmap/zap with PTE-mapped THP"), we already documented "If we ever have a
cheap folio_mapcount(), we might just want to check for underflows
there.".
There is no change for small folios. For large folios, we'll now catch
more underflows when batch-unmapping, because instead of only testing the
mapcount of the first subpage, we'll test if the folio mapcount
underflows.
