Because the radix tree code has no awareness of them, we have to prevent shadow entries from going through operations where the tree implementation relies on or modifies node->count: extending and shrinking the tree from and to a single direct root->rnode entry. As a consequence, we cannot store shadow entries for files that only have index 0 populated, and thus cannot detect refaults from them, which in turn degrades the thrashing compensation in LRU reclaim. Another consequence is that we rely on subtleties throughout the radix tree code, such as the node->count != 1 check in the shrinking code, which is meant to exclude multi-entry nodes but also skips nodes with only one shadow entry since they are accounted in the upper bits. This is error prone, and has in fact caused the bug fixed in d3798ae8c6f3 ("mm: filemap: don't plant shadow entries without radix tree node"). To fix this, this patch moves the shadow counter from the upper bits of node->count into the new node->special counter and tags shadow entries RADIX_TREE_TAG_SPECIAL so the radix tree code handles them properly. node->count then counts all tree entries again, including shadows, and becomes a superset of node->special. Switching from a magic node->count to a special entry tracking scheme that is native to the radix tree code removes the fragile subtleties mentioned above. By being able to tag special entries even when they're a direct pointer in the tree root, we can store shadow entries for single-page files again, and thus restore refault detection and thrashing compensation for them. As the upper bits of node->count are no longer used, we can shrink it down to an unsigned char, which reverts the size increase of the radix tree node caused by the previous patch.
