[PATCH net-next v4 04/20] mm: Make the page_frag_cache allocator use multipage folios

From: David Howells
Date: Wed Apr 05 2023 - 12:55:28 EST


Change the page_frag_cache allocator to use multipage folios rather than
groups of pages. This reduces page_frag_free to just a folio_put() or
put_page().
