Subject: [PATCH v3 00/17] Prepare slab for memdescs
Date: Fri, 24 Oct 2025 21:44:15 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251024204434.2461319-1-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.
v3:
- Rebased on next-20251022
- Picked up review tags (thanks!)
