Subject: mm/huge_memory: drop the redundant mapping argument of __split_frozen_folio
Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2026 01:14:58 +0800
The mapping parameter only served as a non-NULL check to detect whether
page cache entries need updating. The xa_state pointer conveys exactly
the same information: the anon split helper passes NULL and the file split
helper passes &xas, which is non-NULL iff the folio is in the page cache.
Use the xas pointer instead and drop the parameter, along with its
kerneldoc entry.
