[PATCH v3 01/12] mm: Make pagecache tagged lookups return only head pages

From: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)
Date: Mon Oct 26 2020 - 00:14:33 EST


Pagecache tags are used for dirty page writeback. Since dirtiness is
tracked on a per-THP basis, we only want to return the head page rather
than each subpage of a tagged page. All the filesystems which use huge
pages today are in-memory, so there are no tagged huge pages today.
