Stefan Roesch 9feb80bea4 mm: fix for negative counter: nr_file_hugepages
commit a48d5bdc877b85201e42cef9c2fdf5378164c23a upstream.

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.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
