folio_mapped() is expensive because it has to check each page's mapcount field. A cheaper check is whether there are any extra references to the page, other than the one we own, one from the page private data and the ones held by the page cache. The call to remove_mapping() will fail in any case if it cannot freeze the refcount, but failing here avoids cycling the i_pages spinlock.

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.
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.
