But we want that anyway (or at least I do). You're right that vmalloc
pages are not marked as being vmalloc pages and don't contain the
information about which vmalloc area they belong to. I've talked about
ways we can add that information to folios in the past, but I have a lot
of other projects I'm working on. Are you interested in doing that?
