[PATCH v3 08/25] mm: Handle per-folio private data

From: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)
Date: Thu Jan 28 2021 - 02:06:47 EST


Add folio_private() and set_folio_private() which mirror page_private()
and set_page_private() -- ie folio private data is the same as page
private data.

Turn attach_page_private() into attach_folio_private() and reimplement
attach_page_private() as a wrapper. No filesystem which uses page private
data currently supports compound pages, so we're free to define the rules.
attach_page_private() may only be called on a head page; if you want
to add private data to a tail page, you can call set_page_private()
directly (and shouldn't increment the page refcount! That should be
done when adding private data to the head page / folio).
