[PATCH] mm: rmap with inner ptlock
rmap's page_check_address descend without page_table_lock. First just pte_offset_map in case there's no pte present worth locking for, then take page_table_lock for the full check, and pass ptl back to caller in the same style as pte_offset_map_lock. __xip_unmap, page_referenced_one and try_to_unmap_one use pte_unmap_unlock. try_to_unmap_cluster also. page_check_address reformatted to avoid progressive indentation. No use is made of its one error code, return NULL when it fails.
