Message-ID: <20250725021526.58AF9C4CEED@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
The quilt patch titled
Subject: mm/huge_memory: get frozen folio refcount with folio_expected_ref_count()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-huge_memory-get-frozen-folio-refcount-with-folio_expected_ref_count.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm/huge_memory: get frozen folio refcount with folio_expected_ref_count()
Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2025 14:37:19 -0400
Instead of open coding the refcount calculation, use
folio_expected_ref_count() to calculate frozen folio refcount. Because:
1. __folio_split() does not split a folio with PG_private, so no elevated
refcount from PG_private;
2. a frozen folio in __folio_split() is fully unmapped, so folio_mapcount()
in folio_expected_ref_count() is always 0;
3. (mapping || swap_cache) ? folio_nr_pages(folio) is taken care of by
folio_expected_ref_count() too.
