Since MADV_DONTNEED synchronously releases the pagetable page before calling tlb_flush_rmaps(), this could cause another thread's truncation to skip zap_pte_range() (due to pmd is none) but still observe the folio's mapcount as non-zero. A possible race scenario is as follows: CPU 0 CPU 1 shmem_fallocate madvise_dontneed_single_vma unmap_mapping_range ....... ...... (filemap_map_pages() remap folios) zap_pte_range truncate_inode_folio zap_empty_pte_table(pmd clear) unmap_mapping_folio ...... zap_pmd_range (saw pmd none, skip) filemap_remove_folio BUG_ON(folio_mapped) tlb_flush_rmaps(remove rmaps) To fix this issue, we should move the pmd clear operation (via zap_empty_pte_table()) to after tlb_flush_rmaps() and use sync_with_folio_pmd_zap() to sync with concurrent zapping, so that when we find a pmd_none() while unmapping a folio without holding the PTL, the folio's mappings are guaranteed to have been removed via tlb_flush_rmaps().
