mm: fix for negative counter: nr_file_hugepages
While qualifiying the 6.4 release, the following warning was detected in
messages:
vmstat_refresh: nr_file_hugepages -15664
The warning is caused by the incorrect updating of the NR_FILE_THPS
counter in the function split_huge_page_to_list. The if case is checking
for folio_test_swapbacked, but the else case is missing the check for
folio_test_pmd_mappable. The other functions that manipulate the counter
like __filemap_add_folio and filemap_unaccount_folio have the
corresponding check.
I have a test case, which reproduces the problem. It can be found here:
https://github.com/sroeschus/testcase/blob/main/vmstat_refresh/madv.c
The test case reproduces on an XFS filesystem. Running the same test
case on a BTRFS filesystem does not reproduce the problem.
AFAIK version 6.1 until 6.6 are affected by this problem.
