Re: [PATCH v10 01/10] fs: Allow fine-grained control of folio sizes

["Pankaj Raghav (Samsung)" <kernel@pankajraghav.com>]

@willy:

I want to clarify before sending the next round of patches as I didn't
get any reply in the previous email.

IIUC your comments properly:

- I will go back to silent clamping in mapping_set_folio_order_range as
  before and remove VM_WARN_ONCE().

- I will move the mapping_max_folio_size_supported() to patch 10, and FSs
  can use them to check for the max block size that can be supported and
  take the respective action.
