Refcounting on THP is mostly consistent with refcounting on other compound
pages:
- - get_page()/put_page() and GUP operate on head page's ->_refcount.
+ - get_page()/put_page() and GUP operate on the folio->_refcount.
- ->_refcount in tail pages is always zero: get_page_unless_zero() never
succeeds on tail pages.
- - map/unmap of PMD entry for the whole compound page increment/decrement
- ->compound_mapcount, stored in the first tail page of the compound page;
- and also increment/decrement ->subpages_mapcount (also in the first tail)
- by COMPOUND_MAPPED when compound_mapcount goes from -1 to 0 or 0 to -1.
+ - map/unmap of a PMD entry for the whole THP increment/decrement
+ folio->_entire_mapcount and also increment/decrement
+ folio->_nr_pages_mapped by COMPOUND_MAPPED when _entire_mapcount
+ goes from -1 to 0 or 0 to -1.
- - map/unmap of sub-pages with PTE entry increment/decrement ->_mapcount
- on relevant sub-page of the compound page, and also increment/decrement
- ->subpages_mapcount, stored in first tail page of the compound page, when
- _mapcount goes from -1 to 0 or 0 to -1: counting sub-pages mapped by PTE.
+ - map/unmap of individual pages with PTE entry increment/decrement
+ page->_mapcount and also increment/decrement folio->_nr_pages_mapped
+ when page->_mapcount goes from -1 to 0 or 0 to -1 as this counts
+ the number of pages mapped by PTE.
split_huge_page internally has to distribute the refcounts in the head
page to the tail pages before clearing all PG_head/tail bits from the page
