[PATCH AUTOSEL 13/14] mm/thp: ClearPageDoubleMap in first page_add_file_rmap()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Apr 28 2022 - 11:42:54 EST


From: Hugh Dickins <hughd@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit bd55b0c2d64e84a75575f548a33a3dfecc135b65 upstream.

PageDoubleMap is maintained differently for anon and for shmem+file: the
shmem+file one was never cleared, because a safe place to do so could
not be found; so it would blight future use of the cached hugepage until
evicted.

See https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1571938066-29031-1-git-send-email-yang.shi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

But page_add_file_rmap() does provide a safe place to do so (though later
than one might wish): allowing testing to return to an initial state
without a damaging drop_caches.
