Thanks for your clarification.

Agree. It has confused me a lot. I suggest changing the code to the
followings. The folio_test_large() check is still to avoid unexpected
users for OOB.

static inline void folio_set_compound_order(struct folio *folio,
unsigned int order)
{
VM_BUG_ON_FOLIO(!folio_test_large(folio), folio);
// or
// if (!folio_test_large(folio))
// return;

folio->_folio_order = order;
#ifdef CONFIG_64BIT
folio->_folio_nr_pages = order ? 1U << order : 0;
#endif
}

Thanks.
