Subject: [PATCHv7 02/18] mm: Change the interface of prep_compound_tail()
Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2026 19:42:40 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260227194302.274384-3-kas@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260227194302.274384-1-kas@kernel.org>
From: Kiryl Shutsemau <kas@kernel.org>
Instead of passing down the head page and tail page index, pass the tail
and head pages directly, as well as the order of the compound page.
This is a preparation for changing how the head position is encoded in
the tail page.
