Hi Linus,

How about this then?

I've split the folio_has_private()/filemap_release_folio() call pair
merging into its own patch, separate from the actual bugfix and pulled out
the folio_needs_release() function into mm/internal.h and made
filemap_release_folio() use it.  I've also got rid of the bit clearances
from the network filesystem evict_inode functions as they doesn't seem to
be necessary.

I've also added an additional experimental patch to see if the pair in
shrink_folio_list() can be reduced cleanly to just the release call.  This
involves making filemap_release_folio() have a three-state return.

David

Changes:
========
ver #4)
 - Split has_private/release call pairs into own patch.
 - Moved folio_needs_release() to mm/internal.h and removed open-coded
   version from filemap_release_folio().
 - Don't need to clear AS_RELEASE_ALWAYS in ->evict_inode().
 - Added experimental patch to reduce shrink_folio_list().

ver #3)
 - Fixed mapping_clear_release_always() to use clear_bit() not set_bit().
 - Moved a '&&' to the correct line.

ver #2)
 - Rewrote entirely according to Willy's suggestion[1].

I meant that it doesn't cause a splat to appear in dmesg saying that an
unexpected flag was left set.
