[PATCH 6.2/7] mm: rmap: make try_to_unmap() void function

From: Hugh Dickins
Date: Thu Jun 03 2021 - 18:32:30 EST


From: Yang Shi <shy828301@xxxxxxxxx>

Currently try_to_unmap() return bool value by checking page_mapcount(),
however this may return false positive since page_mapcount() doesn't
check all subpages of compound page. The total_mapcount() could be used
instead, but its cost is higher since it traverses all subpages.

Actually the most callers of try_to_unmap() don't care about the
return value at all. So just need check if page is still mapped by
page_mapped() when necessary. And page_mapped() does bail out early
when it finds mapped subpage.

v5: Rediffed by Hugh to fit before 7/7 in mm/thp series; akpm fixed grammar.
v4: Updated the comment of try_to_unmap() per Minchan.
Minor fix and patch reorder per Hugh.
Collected ack tag from Hugh.
