How about

diff --git a/include/linux/mm_types.h b/include/linux/mm_types.h
index 6e0b286649f1..59c9cf3d8510 100644
--- a/include/linux/mm_types.h
+++ b/include/linux/mm_types.h
@@ -46,6 +46,11 @@ struct page {
unsigned long flags; /* Atomic flags, some possibly
* updated asynchronously */
union {
+ /*
+ * For THP we use this to track the compound
+ * page mapcount.
+ */
+ atomic_t _compound_mapcount;
struct address_space *mapping; /* If low bit clear, points to
* inode address_space, or NULL.
* If page mapped as anonymous

and

static inline atomic_t *compound_mapcount_ptr(struct page *page)
{
return (atomic_t *)&page[1]._compound_mapcount;
}
