mm: hugetlb: proc: check for hugetlb shared PMD in /proc/PID/smaps
commit 3489dbb696d25602aea8c3e669a6d43b76bd5358 upstream. Patch series "Fixes for hugetlb mapcount at most 1 for shared PMDs". This issue of mapcount in hugetlb pages referenced by shared PMDs was discussed in [1]. The following two patches address user visible behavior caused by this issue. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/Y9BF+OCdWnCSilEu@monkey/ This patch (of 2): A hugetlb page will have a mapcount of 1 if mapped by multiple processes via a shared PMD. This is because only the first process increases the map count, and subsequent processes just add the shared PMD page to their page table. page_mapcount is being used to decide if a hugetlb page is shared or private in /proc/PID/smaps. Pages referenced via a shared PMD were incorrectly being counted as private. To fix, check for a shared PMD if mapcount is 1. If a shared PMD is found count the hugetlb page as shared. A new helper to check for a shared PMD is added.
