Subject: mm: hugetlb: convert to use more alloc_fresh_hugetlb_folio()
Date: Tue, 2 Sep 2025 20:48:12 +0800

Patch series "mm: hugetlb: cleanup and allocate frozen hugetlb folio", v2.

The first part is to clean up some hugetlb folio allocation and the others
convert to allocate frozen folio in gigantic folio, similar to
alloc_buddy_hugetlb_folio(), avoid atomic operation about folio refcount.


This patch (of 9):

Simplify alloc_fresh_hugetlb_folio() and convert more functions to use it,
which help us to remove prep_new_hugetlb_folio() and
__prep_new_hugetlb_folio().
