[PATCH v5 13/17] md: Use folio_alloc_buffers()
From: Zi Yan
Date: Sun Sep 20 2026 - 22:33:03 EST
From: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Remove the last user of alloc_page_buffers(). Use folio_alloc_buffers()
instead, since alloc_page_buffers() is a wrap over it. Although
the pages used in md-bitmap are not folios, as they are not mapped
into userspace nor enter the page cache, but they still have buffer heads
attached. Cleaning up the code to not use buffer heads is future work.
