Re: [PATCH 02/12] mm, thp, tmpfs: support to add huge page into pagecache for tmpfs

Consider this fixed. I have extracted the common function and the new
shmem_insert_page_page_cache function looks like this:

spin_lock_irq(&mapping->tree_lock);
error = __add_to_page_cache_locked(page, mapping, index);

if (!error)
__mod_zone_page_state(page_zone(page), NR_SHMEM, nr);

radix_tree_preload_end();
spin_unlock_irq(&mapping->tree_lock);

if (error)
page_cache_release(page);

return error;
Best wishes,
