Hi all,
File folio supports any order and people would like to support flexible orders for anonymous folio[1] too. Currently, split_huge_page() only splits a huge page to order-0 pages, but splitting to orders higher than 0 is also useful. This patchset adds support for splitting a huge page to any lower order pages and uses it during folio truncate operations.
The patchset is on top of mm-everything-2023-03-27-21-20.
Changelog from v1 === 1. Changed split_page_memcg() and split_page_owner() parameter to use order 2. Used folio_test_pmd_mappable() in place of the equivalent code
Details ===
* Patch 1 changes split_page_memcg() to use order instead of nr_pages * Patch 2 changes split_page_owner() to use order instead of nr_pages * Patch 3 and 4 add new_order parameter split_page_memcg() and split_page_owner() and prepare for upcoming changes. * Patch 5 adds split_huge_page_to_list_to_order() to split a huge page to any lower order. The original split_huge_page_to_list() calls split_huge_page_to_list_to_order() with new_order = 0. * Patch 6 uses split_huge_page_to_list_to_order() in large pagecache folio truncation instead of split the large folio all the way down to order-0. * Patch 7 adds a test API to debugfs and test cases in split_huge_page_test selftests.
Comments and/or suggestions are welcome.
