> I believe we can use the non-atomic version in all places where set/clear is done as all set/clear are protected by ds_queue->split_queue_lock. So basically could replace all folio_set/clear_partially_mapped with __folio_set/clear_partially_mapped.

right. That is why I thought the below is actually safe.
but i appreciate a test_set of course(and non-atomic):

+               if (!folio_test_partially_mapped(folio)) {
+                       folio_set_partially_mapped(folio);
+                       if (folio_test_pmd_mappable(folio))
+                               count_vm_event(THP_DEFERRED_SPLIT_PAGE);
+                       count_mthp_stat(folio_order(folio),
MTHP_STAT_SPLIT_DEFERRED);
+               }
