Subject: mm/huge_memory: add two new (not yet used) functions for folio_split()
Date: Tue, 11 Feb 2025 10:50:27 -0500

This is a preparation patch, both added functions are not used yet.

The added __split_unmapped_folio() is able to split a folio with its
mapping removed in two manners: 1) uniform split (the existing way), and
2) buddy allocator like split.

The added __split_folio_to_order() can split a folio into any lower order.
For uniform split, __split_unmapped_folio() calls it once to split the
given folio to the new order.  For buddy allocator split,
__split_unmapped_folio() calls it (folio_order - new_order) times and each
time splits the folio containing the given page to one lower order.

+ *             allocator like split generates folios with orders from @folio's
+ *             order - 1 to new_order).
+ * @page: in buddy allocator like split, the folio containing @page will be
+ *        split until its order becomes @new_order.
+ * @list: the after split folios will be added to @list if it is not NULL,
+ *        otherwise to LRU lists.
+ * @end: the end of the file @folio maps to. -1 if @folio is anonymous memory.
+ * @xas: xa_state pointing to folio->mapping->i_pages and locked by caller
+ * @mapping: @folio->mapping
+ * @uniform_split: if the split is uniform or not (buddy allocator like split)
+ *
+ *
+ * 1. uniform split: the given @folio into multiple @new_order small folios,
+ *    where all small folios have the same order. This is done when
+ *    uniform_split is true.
+ * 2. buddy allocator like (non-uniform) split: the given @folio is split into
+ *    half and one of the half (containing the given page) is split into half
+ *    until the given @page's order becomes @new_order. This is done when
+ *    uniform_split is false.
+ *
+ * The high level flow for these two methods are:
+ * 1. uniform split: a single __split_folio_to_order() is called to split the
+ *    @folio into @new_order, then we traverse all the resulting folios one by
+ *    one in PFN ascending order and perform stats, unfreeze, adding to list,
+ *    and file mapping index operations.
+ * 2. non-uniform split: in general, folio_order - @new_order calls to
+ *    __split_folio_to_order() are made in a for loop to split the @folio
+ *    to one lower order at a time. The resulting small folios are processed
+ *    like what is done during the traversal in 1, except the one containing
+ *    @page, which is split in next for loop.
+ *
+ * After splitting, the caller's folio reference will be transferred to the
+ * folio containing @page. The other folios may be freed if they are not mapped.
+ *
+ * In terms of locking, after splitting,
+ * 1. uniform split leaves @page (or the folio contains it) locked;
+ * 2. buddy allocator like (non-uniform) split leaves @folio locked.
+ *
+ *
+ * For !uniform_split, when -ENOMEM is returned, the original folio might be
+ * split. The caller needs to check the input folio.
