Subject[PATCH v5 04/12] mm: introduce page_ref_sub_return()
Date
An upcoming patch requires subtracting a large chunk of refcounts from
a page, and checking what the resulting refcount is. This is a little
different than the usual "check for zero refcount" that many of the
page ref functions already do. However, it is similar to a few other
routines that (like this one) are generally useful for things such as
1-based refcounting.

Add page_ref_sub_return(), that subtracts a chunk of refcounts
atomically, and returns an atomic snapshot of the result.
