[PATCH mmotm] mm: filemap_unaccount_folio() large skip mapcount fixup

From: Hugh Dickins
Date: Thu Mar 03 2022 - 23:21:27 EST


The page_mapcount_reset() when folio_mapped() while mapping_exiting()
was devised long before there were huge or compound pages in the cache.
It is still valid for small pages, but not at all clear what's right to
check and reset on large pages. Just don't try when folio_test_large().
