[PATCH v2 1/2] mm/page_ref: use page_ref helper instead of direct modification of _count

[js1304]

From: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com>

page_reference manipulation functions are introduced to track down
reference count change of the page. Use it instead of direct modification
of _count.

[PATCH v2 2/2] mm: rename _count, field of the struct page, to _refcount

[js1304]

From: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com>

Many developer already know that field for reference count of
the struct page is _count and atomic type. They would try to handle it
directly and this could break the purpose of page reference count
tracepoint. To prevent direct _count modification, this patch rename it
to _refcount and add warning message on the code. After that, developer
who need to handle reference count will find that field should not be
accessed directly.

v2: change more _count usages to _refcount

There's also
Documentation/vm/transhuge.txt talking about ->_count
include/linux/mm.h:      * requires to already have an elevated page->_count.
include/linux/mm_types.h:                        * Keep _count separate from slub cmpxchg_double data.
include/linux/mm_types.h:                        * slab_lock but _count is not.
include/linux/pagemap.h: * If the page is free (_count == 0), then _count is untouched, and 0
include/linux/pagemap.h: * is returned. Otherwise, _count is incremented by 1 and 1 is returned.
include/linux/pagemap.h: * this allows allocators to use a synchronize_rcu() to stabilize _count.
include/linux/pagemap.h: * Remove-side that cares about stability of _count (eg. reclaim) has the
mm/huge_memory.c:        * tail_page->_count is zero and not changing from under us. But
mm/huge_memory.c:       /* Prevent deferred_split_scan() touching ->_count */
mm/internal.h: * Turn a non-refcounted page (->_count == 0) into refcounted with
mm/page_alloc.c:                bad_reason = "nonzero _count";
mm/page_alloc.c:                bad_reason = "nonzero _count";
mm/page_alloc.c:                 * because their page->_count is zero at all time.
mm/slub.c:       * as page->_count.  If we assign to ->counters directly
mm/slub.c:       * we run the risk of losing updates to page->_count, so
mm/vmscan.c:     * load is not satisfied before that of page->_count.
mm/vmscan.c: * The downside is that we have to touch page->_count against each page.

I've arrived at the following command to find this:
git grep "[^a-zA-Z0-9_]_count[^_]"

Not that many false positives in the output :)
