[PATCH v2] mm/huge_memory: add folio_reset_partially_mapped()
From: Kiryl Shutsemau
Date: Tue Sep 08 2026 - 09:46:08 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.

v2:
- Comment that the folio must be frozen above the refcount assert
(Lorenzo)
- Assisted-by tag in the format coding-assistants.rst asks for (Lorenzo)
- Collect tags
- Cc Ilya Gladyshev, whose refcount series would be the home for a
folio_is_frozen()
