Subject: [PATCH v3 1/7] mm: Add folio_split_unref helper
Date: Fri, 9 Jan 2026 09:54:21 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260109085605.443316-2-francois.dugast@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260109085605.443316-1-francois.dugast@intel.com>
From: Matthew Brost <matthew.brost@intel.com>
Add folio_split_unref helper which splits an unreferenced folio
(refcount == 0) into individual pages. Intended to be called on special
pages (e.g., device-private, DAX, etc.) when returning the folio to the
free page pool.
