[merged mm-stable] mm-memory-use-folio_mapcount-in-zap_present_folio_ptes.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/memory: use folio_mapcount() in zap_present_folio_ptes()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-memory-use-folio_mapcount-in-zap_present_folio_ptes.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

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.
