Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] kho: move sanity checks to kho_restore_page()
Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2025 14:56:53 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250917125725.665-1-pratyush@kernel.org> (raw)
While KHO exposes folio as the primitive externally, internally its
restoration machinery operates on pages. This can be seen with
kho_restore_folio() for example. It performs some sanity checks and
hands it over to kho_restore_page() to do the heavy lifting of page
restoration. After the work done by kho_restore_page(),
kho_restore_folio() only converts the head page to folio and returns it.
Similarly, deserialize_bitmap() operates on the head page directly to
store the order.
Move the sanity checks for valid phys and order from the public-facing
kho_restore_folio() to the private-facing kho_restore_page(). This makes
the boundary between page and folio clearer from KHO's perspective.
While at it, drop the comment above kho_restore_page(). The comment is
misleading now. The function stopped looking like free_reserved_page()
since 12b9a2c05d1b4 ("kho: initialize tail pages for higher order folios
properly"), and now looks even more different.
