[PATCH] bcache: Use a folio

[PATCH] bcache: Use a folio

[Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)]

Retrieve a folio from the page cache instead of a page.  Removes a
hidden call to compound_head().  Then be sure to call folio_put()
instead of put_page() to release it.  That doesn't save any calls
to compound_head(), just moves them around.

Hi Matthew,

Overall the patch is fine to me. I will reply you after doing some basic testing.

Thanks.

Acked-back: Coly Li <colyli@kernel.org>

The patch looks fine and works well. If you want this patch to go upstream
by your path, please add my Acked-by.

Otherwise I can submit it to Jens with my Signed-off-by.

Thanks.

Please submit it to Jens; it's not part of a specific series at this
point (though obviously I'm working towards killing off all the page
infrastructure).  Easiest to work through maintainer trees at this point.

[PATCH] bcache: Use a folio

[colyli]

From: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) <willy@infradead.org>

Retrieve a folio from the page cache instead of a page.  Removes a
hidden call to compound_head().  Then be sure to call folio_put()
instead of put_page() to release it.  That doesn't save any calls
to compound_head(), just moves them around.

Really needs a better subject line... I can do that while applying,
however. How about:

bcache: switch from pages to folios in read_super()

or something like that.
