Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/3 v2] mm: Reorg code to allow i_mmap_mutex acquisition
to be done by caller of page_referenced & try_to_unmap

It would be better to write down.

Why do you declare double underscore functions in header?
As I look the patch, that function is used by only rmap.c so that
you don't need to declare it in header file and you can make that
functions static.
If next patch use that functions on other files, let's make that
function external in next patch, NOT this patch.

Please add a description about this function and
add lokcing rule.
Page should be locked for such test.
And how about this naming?
/*
* This function return true if we have to hold page->mapping->i_mmap_mutex.
* Otherwise, return false.
* Caller should lock the page
*/
bool need_page_mapping_mutex(struct page *page)
{
BUG_ON(!PageLocked(page));
return page->mapping && !PageKsm(page) && !PageAnon(page);
}
MM guys are used to page_mapping.
