Subject: [PATCH RFC 11/13] mm/rmap: stop using the entire mapcount for hugetlb folios
Date: Sun, 12 Apr 2026 20:59:42 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260412-mapcount-v1-11-05e8dfab52e0@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260412-mapcount-v1-0-05e8dfab52e0@kernel.org>

There is no real reason why hugetlb still updates the entire mapcount:
the value always corresponds to folio_mapcount().

As we want to change the semantics of the entire mapcount in a way
incompatible with hugetlb, let's just stop using the entire mapcount
for hugetlb folios entirely.

We only have to teach folio_average_page_mapcount() about the change.
