Hi Ryan,

we are doing an entire mapping, right? what is the reason to
increase mapcount for each subpage? shouldn't we only increase
mapcount of subpage in either split or doublemap case?

in page_add_anon_rmap(), are we also increasing mapcount of
each subpage for fork() case where the entire large folio
is inheritted by child processes?
