Hugh Dickins 47d4f3eeef mm/thp: shrink_page_list() avoid splitting VM_LOCKED THP
4.8 commit 7751b2da6b ("vmscan: split file huge pages before paging
them out") inserted a split_huge_page_to_list() into shrink_page_list()
without considering the mlock case: no problem if the page has already
been marked as Mlocked (the !page_evictable check much higher up will
have skipped all this), but it has always been the case that races or
omissions in setting Mlocked can rely on page reclaim to detect this
and correct it before actually reclaiming - and that remains so, but
what a shame if a hugepage is needlessly split before discovering it.

It is surprising that page_check_references() returns PAGEREF_RECLAIM
when VM_LOCKED, but there was a good reason for that: try_to_unmap_one()
is where the condition is detected and corrected; and until now it could
not be done in page_referenced_one(), because that does not always have
the page locked.  Now that mlock's requirement for page lock has gone,
copy try_to_unmap_one()'s mlock restoration into page_referenced_one(),
and let page_check_references() return PAGEREF_ACTIVATE in this case.

But page_referenced_one() may find a pte mapping one part of a hugepage:
what hold should a pte mapped in a VM_LOCKED area exert over the entire
huge page?  That's debatable.  The approach taken here is to treat that
pte mapping in page_referenced_one() as if not VM_LOCKED, and if no
VM_LOCKED pmd mapping is found later in the walk, and lack of reference
permits, then PAGEREF_RECLAIM take it to attempted splitting as before.
