commit61c6de6672upstream. migrate_page_move_mapping() expects pages with private data set to have a page_count elevated by 1. This is what used to happen for xfs through the buffer_heads code before the switch to iomap in commit82cb14175e("xfs: add support for sub-pagesize writeback without buffer_heads"). Not having the count elevated causes move_pages() to fail on memory mapped files coming from xfs. Make iomap compatible with the migrate_page_move_mapping() assumption by elevating the page count as part of iomap_page_create() and lowering it in iomap_page_release(). It causes the move_pages() syscall to misbehave on memory mapped files from xfs. It does not not move any pages, which I suppose is "just" a perf issue, but it also ends up returning a positive number which is out of spec for the syscall. Talking to Michal Hocko, it sounds like returning positive numbers might be a necessary update to move_pages() anyway though (https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181116114955.GJ14706@dhcp22.suse.cz). I only hit this in tests that verify that move_pages() actually moved the pages. The test also got confused by the positive return from move_pages() (it got treated as a success as positive numbers were not expected and not handled) making it a bit harder to track down what's going on.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
