This should be

VM_WARN_ON_FOLIO(!folio_test_large(folio), folio);

And here we come through

if (likely(!folio_test_large(folio))) {
	...
}
return folio_large_mapcount(folio);


So the folio is split concurrently. And I think there is nothing 
stopping it from getting freed.

We do a xas_for_each() under RCU. So yes, this is racy.

In  collapse_file(), we re-validate everything.

We could

(A) Take proper pagecache locks

(B) Try grabbing a temporary folio reference

(C) Try snapshotting the folio

Probably, in this code, (B) might be cleanest for now? Handling it just 
like other code in mm/filemap.c.
