Subject: [PATCH mmotm] shmem: mapping_set_exiting() to help mapped
 resilience
Message-ID: <beefffda-6326-e36d-2d41-ed15b51af872@google.com>

When I added page_mapped() resilience in __delete_from_page_cache() for
the mapping_exiting() case, I missed that mapping_set_exiting() is done
in truncate_inode_pages_final(), which is not actually called for shmem.
(Today, it is folio_mapped() resilience in filemap_unaccount_folio().)

So the fixup to avoid a memory leak in this case never worked on shmem:
add a mapping_set_exiting() in shmem_evict_inode() at last.  But this
is hardly a candidate for stable, since it's only useful if "Bad page".

Fixes: 06b241f32c71 ("mm: __delete_from_page_cache show Bad page if mapped")
