Piotr Jaroszynski 61c6de6672 fs/iomap.c: get/put the page in iomap_page_create/release()
migrate_page_move_mapping() expects pages with private data set to have
a page_count elevated by 1.  This is what used to happen for xfs through
the buffer_heads code before the switch to iomap in commit 82cb14175e
("xfs: add support for sub-pagesize writeback without buffer_heads").
Not having the count elevated causes move_pages() to fail on memory
mapped files coming from xfs.

Make iomap compatible with the migrate_page_move_mapping() assumption by
elevating the page count as part of iomap_page_create() and lowering it
in iomap_page_release().

It causes the move_pages() syscall to misbehave on memory mapped files
from xfs.  It does not not move any pages, which I suppose is "just" a
perf issue, but it also ends up returning a positive number which is out
of spec for the syscall.  Talking to Michal Hocko, it sounds like
returning positive numbers might be a necessary update to move_pages()
anyway though
(https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181116114955.GJ14706@dhcp22.suse.cz).

I only hit this in tests that verify that move_pages() actually moved
the pages.  The test also got confused by the positive return from
move_pages() (it got treated as a success as positive numbers were not
expected and not handled) making it a bit harder to track down what's
going on.

README

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.
