Subject: [PATCH 6.12.y 1/3] mm: move hugetlb specific things in folio to page[3]
Date: Thu,  3 Sep 2026 11:00:49 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260903150051.856389-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026090322-cucumber-clumsily-daf5@gregkh>

From: David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com>

[ Upstream commit 4eeec8c89a0c4a8c20fb13a4e7093cc8efce383d ]

Let's just move the hugetlb specific stuff to a separate page, and stop
letting it overlay other fields for now.

This frees up some space in page[2], which we will use on 32bit to free up
some space in page[1].  While we could move these things to page[3]
instead, it's cleaner to just move the hugetlb specific things out of the
way and pack the core-folio stuff as tight as possible.  ...  and we can
minimize the work required in dump_folio.

We can now avoid re-initializing &folio->_deferred_list in hugetlb code.

Hopefully dynamically allocating "strut folio" in the future will further
clean this up.
