 Hi, also thanks for the detailed comments!!!

 Yes, I also agree. But I just saw that mlocked_vma_newpage() is used 
 as a test stament in page_add_new_anon_rmap(), like:

    if (!mlocked_vma_newpage())
	...
    else
	...

 It is quite clear code logic for reading, so I think it is appropriate
 to still make it a function. But that's OK, I've folded it into 
 page_add_new_anon_rmap() in the new patch, see below.

 Thanks for telling me this, which be not be learned from code.

mm: fold mlocked_vma_newpage() into its only call site
    
In previous commit(mm: use the light version __mod_zone_page_state in
mlocked_vma_newpage()) a irq-unsafe __mod_zone_page_state is used.
And as suggested by Andrew, to reduce the risks that new call sites
incorrectly using mlocked_vma_newpage() without knowing they are adding
racing, this patch folds mlocked_vma_newpage() into its only call site,
page_add_new_anon_rmap, to make it open-cocded.
