[RFC PATCH 3/5] mm/mlock: WARN_ON() if mapcount overflows into mlock_count

From: Yosry Ahmed
Date: Sun Jun 18 2023 - 02:58:29 EST


Add a hook when a new mapping is added to an order-0 mlocked folio to
check if the mapcount overflowed beyond the allocated 20 bits into the
mlock_count. This is useful to know if this alarm if this happens
frequently enough to cause a problem.

We do so by checking if the folio has the lower 20 bits as all 0s. For
file-backed folios, we do not hold the folio lock while adding a new
mapping, so there's a chance that two mappings are added in quick
succession such that the warning doesn't fire. Don't sweat it.
