Subject: [PATCH 00/22] Prepare slab for memdescs
Date: Fri, 29 Aug 2025 16:47:04 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250829154728.3397606-1-willy@infradead.org> (raw)

When we separate struct folio, struct page and struct slab from each
other, converting to folios then to slabs will be nonsense.  It made
sense under the 'folio is just a head page' interpretation, but with
full separation, page_folio() will return NULL for a page which belongs
to a slab.

This patch series removes almost all mentions of folio from slab.
There are a few folio_test_slab() invocations left around the tree that
I haven't decided how to handle yet.  We're not yet quite at the point
of separately allocating struct slab, but that's what I'll be working
on next.

Based on next-20250829.  It has dependencies on both the memdesc_flags_t
conversion and the sheaves work.  Both should be trivial to resolve,
but it may be a little awkward to shepherd into Linus' tree.
