PageDoubleMap is maintained differently for anon and for shmem+file: the shmem+file one was never cleared, because a safe place to do so could not be found; so it would blight future use of the cached hugepage until evicted. See https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1571938066-29031-1-git-send-email-yang.shi@linux.alibaba.com/ But page_add_file_rmap() does provide a safe place to do so (though later than one might wish): allowing testing to return to an initial state without a damaging drop_caches.

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.
