Patch series "Convert various mempolicy.c functions to use folios", v4. This patch series converts migrate_page_add() and queue_pages_required() to migrate_folio_add() and queue_page_required(). It also converts the callers of the functions to use folios as well, and introduces a helper function to estimate the number of sharers of a folio. This patch (of 6): folio_estimated_sharers() takes in a folio and returns the precise number of times the first subpage of the folio is mapped. This function aims to provide an estimate for the number of sharers of a folio. This is necessary for folio conversions where we care about the number of processes that share a folio, but don't necessarily want to check every single page within that folio. This is in contrast to folio_mapcount() which calculates the total number of the times a folio and all its subpages are mapped.

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.
