[merged mm-stable] mm-huge_memory-add-and-use-normal_or_softleaf_folio_pmd.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/huge_memory: add and use normal_or_softleaf_folio_pmd()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-huge_memory-add-and-use-normal_or_softleaf_folio_pmd.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm/huge_memory: add and use normal_or_softleaf_folio_pmd()
Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2026 18:07:29 +0000

Now we have pmd_to_softleaf_folio() available to us which also raises a
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM warning if unexpectedly an invalid softleaf entry, we can
now abstract folio handling altogether.

vm_normal_folio() deals with the huge zero page (which is present), as well
as PFN map/mixed map mappings in both cases returning NULL.

Otherwise, we try to obtain the softleaf folio.

This makes the logic far easier to comprehend and has it use the standard
vm_normal_folio_pmd() path for decoding of present entries.

Finally, we have to update the flushing logic to only do so if a folio is
established.

This patch also makes the 'is_present' value more accurate - because PFN
map, mixed map and zero huge pages are present, just not present and
'normal'.
