Subject: [PATCH v3 08/25] fs/dax: Remove PAGE_MAPPING_DAX_SHARED mapping flag
PAGE_MAPPING_DAX_SHARED is the same as PAGE_MAPPING_ANON. This isn't
currently a problem because FS DAX pages are treated
specially. However a future change will make FS DAX pages more like
normal pages, so folio_test_anon() must not return true for a FS DAX
page.
We could explicitly test for a FS DAX page in folio_test_anon(),
etc. however the PAGE_MAPPING_DAX_SHARED flag isn't actually
needed. Instead we can use the page->mapping field to implicitly track
the first mapping of a page. If page->mapping is non-NULL it implies
the page is associated with a single mapping at page->index. If the
page is associated with a second mapping clear page->mapping and set
page->share to 1.
This is possible because a shared mapping implies the file-system
implements dax_holder_operations which makes the ->mapping and
->index, which is a union with ->share, unused.
The page is considered shared when page->mapping == NULL and
page->share > 0 or page->mapping != NULL, implying it is present in at
least one address space. This also makes it easier for a future change
to detect when a page is first mapped into an address space which
requires special handling.
