[PATCH v1 1/3] mm: Allow deferred splitting of arbitrary large anon folios

From: Ryan Roberts
Date: Mon Jul 17 2023 - 10:31:36 EST


In preparation for the introduction of large folios for anonymous
memory, we would like to be able to split them when they have unmapped
subpages, in order to free those unused pages under memory pressure. So
remove the artificial requirement that the large folio needed to be at
least PMD-sized.
