[PATCH v2 00/28] Convert GUP to folios
From: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)
Date: Sun Jan 09 2022 - 23:25:52 EST
This patch series is against my current folio for-next branch. I know
it won't apply to sfr's next tree, and it's not for-next material yet.
I intend to submit it for 5.18 after I've rebased it to one of the
5.17-rc releases.
The overall effect of this (ignoring the primary "preparing for folios
that are not PAGE or PMD sized" purpose) is to reduce the size of gup.o
by ~700 bytes in the config I normally test with.
This patchset just converts existing implementations to use folios.
There's no new API for consumers here to provide information in a more
efficient (address, length) format. That will be a separate patchset.
In v2, I've tried to address all the comments from the reviews I got
on v1. Apologies if I missed anything; I got a lot of good feedback.
Primarily I separated out the folio changes (later) from the "While
I'm looking at this ..." changes (earlier). I'm not sure the story
of the patchset is necessarily coherent this way, but it should be
easier to review.
Another big change is that compound_pincount is now available to all
compound pages, not just those that are order-2-or-higher. Patch 11.
I did notice one bug in my original patchset which I'm disappointed GCC
didn't diagnose:
pages[nr++] = nth_page(page, nr);
Given the massive reorg of the patchset, I didn't feel right using
anyone's SoB from v1 on any of the patches. But, despite the increased
number of patches, I hope it's easier to review than v1.
And I'd dearly love a better name than 'folio_nth'. page_nth() is
a temporary construct, so doesn't need a better name. If you need
context, it's in the gup_folio_range_next() patch and its job
is to tell you, given a page and a folio, what # page it is within
a folio (so a number between [0 and folio_nr_pages())).
