[PATCH WIP v1 20/20] mm/rmap: perform all mapcount operations of large folios under the rmap seqcount

From: David Hildenbrand
Date: Fri Nov 24 2023 - 08:30:07 EST


Let's extend the atomic seqcount to also protect modifications of:
* The subpage mapcounts
* The entire mapcount
* folio->_nr_pages_mapped

This way, we can avoid another 1/2 atomic RMW operations on the fast
path (and significantly more when patching): When we are the exclusive
writer, we only need two atomic RMW operations to manage the atomic
seqcount.

Let's document how the existing atomic seqcount memory barriers keep the
old behavior unmodified: especially, how it makes sure that folio
refcount updates cannot be reordered with folio mapcount updates.
