Yes, I think so too; and that is not the only issue with the patch
(I don't think page_mapcount is enough, I had to use total_mapcount).
It's a good find, and thank you WangYong for the report.
I found the same issue when testing my MFD_HUGEPAGE patch last year,
and devised a patch to fix it (and keep MFD_HUGETLB working) then; but
never sent that in because there wasn't time to re-present MFD_HUGEPAGE.
I'm currently retesting my patch: just found something failing which
I thought should pass; but maybe I'm confused, or maybe the xarray is
working differently now. I'm rushing to reply now because I don't want
others to waste their own time on it.
Andrew, please expect a replacement patch for this issue, but
I certainly have more testing and checking to do before sending.
