[PATCH] mm/huge_memory: add folio_reset_partially_mapped()

From: Kiryl Shutsemau

Date: Mon Sep 07 2026 - 14:33:56 EST


From: "Kiryl Shutsemau (Meta)" <kas@xxxxxxxxxx>

__folio_unqueue_deferred_split() and __folio_freeze_and_split_unmapped()
both clear PG_partially_mapped and take the folio out of
MTHP_STAT_NR_ANON_PARTIALLY_MAPPED with the same five lines.

Move the block into folio_reset_partially_mapped() and call it from both
places.

The helper asserts what both callers rely on: the folio is frozen, so
deferred_split_folio() cannot set the flag again under it, and the folio
is already off the deferred split queue. The list check sits behind the
flag test because order-1 folios have no _deferred_list.

folio_order() is safe to use at this point in the split process: it
still shows the pre-split order.
