Subject: [PATCH v2 1/4] mm/huge_memory: change folio_split_supported() to folio_check_splittable()
Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2025 21:55:26 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251122025529.1562592-2-ziy@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251122025529.1562592-1-ziy@nvidia.com>
folio_split_supported() used in try_folio_split_to_order() requires
folio->mapping to be non NULL, but current try_folio_split_to_order() does
not check it. There is no issue in the current code, since
try_folio_split_to_order() is only used in truncate_inode_partial_folio(),
where folio->mapping is not NULL.
To prevent future misuse, move folio->mapping NULL check (i.e., folio is
truncated) into folio_split_supported(). Since folio->mapping NULL check
returns -EBUSY and folio_split_supported() == false means -EINVAL, change
folio_split_supported() return type from bool to int and return error
numbers accordingly. Rename folio_split_supported() to
folio_check_splittable() to match the return type change.
While at it, move is_huge_zero_folio() check and folio_test_writeback()
check into folio_check_splittable() and add kernel-doc.
