In madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range() and madvise_free_pte_range(), folio_mapcount() is used to check whether the folio is shared. But it's not correct as folio_mapcount() returns total mapcount of large folio. Use folio_estimated_sharers() here as the estimated number is enough. This patchset will fix the cases: User space application call madvise() with MADV_FREE, MADV_COLD and MADV_PAGEOUT for specific address range. There are THP mapped to the range. Without the patchset, the THP is skipped. With the patch, the THP will be split and handled accordingly. David reported the cow self test skip some cases because of MADV_PAGEOUT skip THP: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/9e92e42d-488f-47db-ac9d-75b24cd0d037@xxxxxxxxx/T/#mbf0f2ec7fbe45da47526de1d7036183981691e81 and I confirmed this patchset make it work again. Changelog from v1: - Avoid two Fixes tags make backport harder. Thank Andrew for pointing this out. - Add note section to mention this is a temporary fix which is fine to reduce user-visble effects. For long term fix, we should wait for David's solution. Thank Ryan and David for pointing this out. - Spell user-visible effects out. Then people could decide whether these patches are necessary for stable branch. Thank Andrew for pointing this out.
