[RFC,v2,04/10] mm: remove set_page_count() from page_frag_alloc_align

Commit Message

Pasha Tatashin Nov. 17, 2021, 1:20 a.m. UTC

set_page_count() unconditionally resets the value of _ref_count and that
is dangerous, as it is not programmatically verified. Instead we rely on
comments like: "OK, page count is 0, we can safely set it".

Add a new refcount function: page_ref_add_return() to return the new
refcount value after adding to it. Use the return value to verify that
the _ref_count was indeed the expected one.
