If separate, do you have any ballpark feel for how likely it > is to land and if so, when? You could have an expensive total mapcount via folio_mapcount() today. The fast version is currently part of "precise shared vs exclusive", but with most RMAP batching in place we might want to consider adding it ahead of time, because the overhead of maintaining it will reduce drastically in the cases we care about. My current plan is: (1) RMAP batching when remapping a PMD-mapped THP. Upstream. (2) Fork batching. I have that prototype you already saw, will work on this next. (3) Zap batching. I also have a prototype now and will polish that as well. (4) Total mapcount (5) Shared vs. Exclusive (6) Subpage mapcounts / PageAnonExclusive fun I'll try getting a per-folio PageAnonExclusive bit implemented ahead of time. I think I know roughly what there is to do, but some corner cases are ugly to handle and I avoided messing with them in the past by making the PAE bit per-subpage. We'll see. Now, no idea how long that all will take. I have decent prototypes at this point for most stuff. -- Cheers, David / dhildenb
