mm: extend rmap flags arguments for folio_add_new_anon_rmap
Patch series "mm: clarify folio_add_new_anon_rmap() and
__folio_add_anon_rmap()", v2.
This patchset is 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().
This patch (of 3):
In the case of a swap-in, a new anonymous folio is not necessarily
exclusive. This patch updates the rmap flags to allow a new anonymous
folio to be treated as either exclusive or non-exclusive. To maintain the
existing behavior, we always use EXCLUSIVE as the default setting.
