---------------------------------
-.. warning::
- [!] TODO/FIXME: a better name might be page_mlocked() - analogous to the
- page_referenced() reverse map walker.
-
When munlock_vma_page() [see section :ref:`munlock()/munlockall() System Call
Handling <munlock_munlockall_handling>` above] tries to munlock a
page, it needs to determine whether or not the page is mapped by any
VM_LOCKED VMA without actually attempting to unmap all PTEs from the
page. For this purpose, the unevictable/mlock infrastructure
-introduced a variant of try_to_unmap() called try_to_munlock().
+introduced a variant of try_to_unmap() called page_mlock().
-try_to_munlock() calls the same functions as try_to_unmap() for anonymous and
-mapped file and KSM pages with a flag argument specifying unlock versus unmap
-processing. Again, these functions walk the respective reverse maps looking
-for VM_LOCKED VMAs. When such a VMA is found, as in the try_to_unmap() case,
-the functions mlock the page via mlock_vma_page() and return SWAP_MLOCK. This
-undoes the pre-clearing of the page's PG_mlocked done by munlock_vma_page.
