My current preference is just to drop the idea of trying to show total_mapcount from __dump_page(). I might end up compromising on printing the result of for (i = 0; i < nr; i++) ret += atomic_read(&head[i]._mapcount) + 1; (if we can safely decide nr), and leave all the convoluted flags logic to the poor reader of the page dump. But that in itself shows the limitation of printing total_mapcount(), when individual corrupt _mapcounts might be -1, +2, -3, +4, ... To some extent (modulo racing references to the THP), a good total_mapcount can be inferred from the page reference count. (But that probably describes better the situation when everything is going correctly: maybe problems tend to come precisely when there are multiple racing references.) Dunno. My mind is not on it at the moment. I'm more concerned that Wang Yugui's crash turns out not to be solved by any of the fixes I have lined up: we certainly did not promise that it would be, and it shouldn't stop advancing the fixes we already know, but I do want to give it a little more thought before resuming on my patches.
