Subject[PATCH v2 1/3] madvise:madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range(): don't use mapcount() against large folio for sharing check
Date
Commit 07e8c82b5eff ("madvise: convert madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range()
to use folios") replaced the page_mapcount() with folio_mapcount() to
check whether the folio is shared by other mapping.

It's not correct for large folio. folio_mapcount() returns the total
mapcount of large folio which is not suitable to detect whether the folio
is shared.

Use folio_estimated_sharers() which returns a estimated number of shares.
That means it's not 100% correct. It should be OK for madvise case here.

User-visible effects is that the THP is skipped when user call madvise.
But the correct behavior is THP should be split and processed then.

NOTE: this change is a temporary fix to reduce the user-visible effects
before the long term fix from David is ready.
