From: Barry Song <v-songbaohua@oppo.com>

The whole thing was originally suggested by David while we tried
to weaken the WARN_ON in __folio_add_anon_rmap() while bringing up
mTHP swapin[1]. This patchset is also preparatory work for mTHP
swapin.

folio_add_new_anon_rmap() assumes that new anon rmaps are always
exclusive. However, this assumption doesn’t hold true for cases
like do_swap_page(), where a new anon might be added to the
swapcache and is not necessarily exclusive.

The patchset extends the rmap flags to allow folio_add_new_anon_rmap()
to handle both exclusive and non-exclusive new anon folios.
The do_swap_page() function is updated to use this extended API with
rmap flags. Consequently, all new anon folios now consistently use
folio_add_new_anon_rmap().
The special case for !folio_test_anon() in __folio_add_anon_rmap() can
be safely removed.

In conclusion, new anon folios always use folio_add_new_anon_rmap(),
regardless of exclusivity. Old anon folios continue to use
__folio_add_anon_rmap() via folio_add_anon_rmap_pmd() and
folio_add_anon_rmap_ptes().

-v2:
 * fix crashes reported by Yuan Shuai during swapoff, thanks; David
   also commented unuse_pte() for swapoff;
 * add comments for !anon according to David, thanks;
 * add Yuan Shuai's tested-by tags, thanks for Yuan Shuai's testing
   on real phones;
 * refine changelog;

-v1(RFC):

Barry Song (3):
  mm: extend rmap flags arguments for folio_add_new_anon_rmap
  mm: use folio_add_new_anon_rmap() if folio_test_anon(folio)==false
  mm: remove folio_test_anon(folio)==false path in
    __folio_add_anon_rmap()
