Yin Fengwei 1acbc3f936 mm: handle large folio when large folio in VM_LOCKED VMA range
If large folio is in the range of VM_LOCKED VMA, it should be mlocked to
avoid being picked by page reclaim.  Which may split the large folio and
then mlock each pages again.

Mlock this kind of large folio to prevent them being picked by page
reclaim.

For the large folio which cross the boundary of VM_LOCKED VMA or not fully
mapped to VM_LOCKED VMA, we'd better not to mlock it.  So if the system is
under memory pressure, this kind of large folio will be split and the
pages ouf of VM_LOCKED VMA can be reclaimed.

Ideally, for large folio, we should mlock it when the large folio is fully
mapped to VMA and munlock it if any page are unmampped from VMA.  But it's
not easy to detect whether the large folio is fully mapped to VMA in some
cases (like add/remove rmap).  So we update mlock_vma_folio() and
munlock_vma_folio() to mlock/munlock the folio according to vma->vm_flags.
Let caller to decide whether they should call these two functions.

For add rmap, only mlock normal 4K folio and postpone large folio handling
to page reclaim phase.  It is possible to reuse page table iterator to
detect whether folio is fully mapped or not during page reclaim phase. 
For remove rmap, invoke munlock_vma_folio() to munlock folio unconditionly
because rmap makes folio not fully mapped to VMA.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
