Subject: [PATCH RFC v2 2/6] KVM: guest_memfd: Directly allocate folios with filemap_alloc_folio()
Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2026 07:20:37 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260225-gmem-st-blocks-v2-2-87d7098119a9@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260225-gmem-st-blocks-v2-0-87d7098119a9@google.com>

__filemap_get_folio_mpol() is parametrized by a bunch of GFP flags, which
adds complexity for the reader. Since guest_memfd doesn't meaningfully use
any of the other FGP flags, undo that complexity by directly calling
filemap_alloc_folio().

Directly calling filemap_alloc_folio() also allows the order of 0 to be
explicitly specified, which is the only order guest_memfd supports. This is
easier to understand, and removes the chance of anything else being able to
unintentionally influence allocated folio size.
