/* Mapfree infrastructure.
*
* Purposes:
*
* 1) Open files only once when possible, do ref-counting on struct mapfree_info
*
* 2) Automatically call invalidate_mapping_pages() in the background on
* "unused" areas to free resources.
* Used areas can be indicated by calling mapfree_set() frequently.
* Usage model: tailored to sequential logfiles.
*
* 3) Do it all in a completely decoupled manner, in order to prevent resource deadlocks.
*
* 4) Also to prevent deadlocks: always set mapping_set_gfp_mask() accordingly.
