I assume you mean, that the mapping is no longer set for the folio (it
sure still exists, because we are getting a callback from it :) )?
Staring at filemap_remove_folio(), this is exactly what happens:
We remember folio->mapping, call __filemap_remove_folio(), and then call
filemap_free_folio() where we zap folio->mapping via page_cache_delete().
Maybe it's easier+cleaner to also forward the mapping to the
free_folio() callback, just like we do with filemap_free_folio()? Would
that help?
CCing Willy if that would be reasonable extension of the free_folio
callback.
