In __folio_remove_rmap() for RMAP_LEVEL_PMD/RMAP_LEVEL_PUD and with
CONFIG_PAGE_MAPCOUNT we first decrement the folio mapcount (and recompute
mapped shared vs. mapped exclusively) to then adjust the entire mapcount.
This means that another process might stumble in do_wp_page() over a
PTE-mapped PMD folio that is indicated as "exclusively mapped", but still
has an entire mapcount (PMD mapping), because it is racing with the
process that is unmapping the folio (PMD mapping). Note that do_wp_page()
will back off once it detects the remaining folio reference from the
process that is in the process of unmapping the folio.
This will trigger the early VM_WARN_ON_ONCE(folio_entire_mapcount(folio))
check in do_wp_page(), that can easily be reproduced by looping a couple
of times over allocating a PMD THP, forking a child where we immediately
unmap it again, and writing in the parent concurrently to the THP.

While we could adjust the sequence in __folio_remove_rmap(), let's rater
move the mapcount sanity checks after the mapcount vs. refcount
stabilization phase. With this fix, a simple reproducer is happy.
While at it, convert the two VM_WARN_ON_ONCE() we are moving to
VM_WARN_ON_ONCE_FOLIO().

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 reStructuredText 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.
