mm/rmap: fix old bug: munlocking THP missed other mlocks
The kernel recovers in due course from missing Mlocked pages: but there was no point in calling page_mlock() (formerly known as try_to_munlock()) on a THP, because nothing got done even when it was found to be mapped in another VM_LOCKED vma. It's true that we need to be careful: Mlocked accounting of pte-mapped THPs is too difficult (so consistently avoided); but Mlocked accounting of only-pmd-mapped THPs is supposed to work, even when multiple mappings are mlocked and munlocked or munmapped. Refine the tests. There is already a VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PageDoubleMap) in page_mlock(), so page_mlock_one() does not even have to worry about that complication. (I said the kernel recovers: but would page reclaim be likely to split THP before rediscovering that it's VM_LOCKED? I've not followed that up) Fixes: 9a73f61b ("thp, mlock: do not mlock PTE-mapped file huge pages") Signed-off-by:Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Reviewed-by: Shakeel Butt <shakeelb...
