The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm: check if folio has valid mapcount before folio_test_{anon,ksm}() when necessary
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-check-if-folio-has-valid-mapcount-before-folio_test_anonksm-when-necessary.patch

This patch was dropped because an updated version will be issued

Subject: mm: check if folio has valid mapcount before folio_test_{anon,ksm}() when necessary
Date: Mon, 7 Jul 2025 21:07:40 +0900

folio_test_anon() and folio_test_ksm() may return false positives when the
folio is a typed page (except hugetlb), because lower bits of
folio->mapping field can be set even if it doesn't mean FOLIO_MAPPING_*
flags.

To avoid false positives, folio_test_{anon,ksm}() should be called only if
!page_has_type(&folio->page) || folio_test_hugetlb(folio).  However, the
check can be skipped if a folio is or will be mapped to userspace because
typed pages that are not hugetlb folios cannot be mapped to userspace.

As folio_expected_ref_count() already does the check, introduce a helper
function folio_has_mapcount() and use it in folio_expected_ref_count() and
stable_page_flags().

Update the comment in FOLIO_MAPPING_* flags accordingly.

This fixes tools/mm/page-types reporting pages with
KPF_SLAB, KPF_ANON and KPF_SLAB (with flags, page-counts, MB omitted):
  $ sudo ./page-types | grep slab
  _______S___________________________________	slab
  _______S____a________x_____________________	slab,anonymous,ksm
