[PATCH v7 02/11] fs: Allow fine-grained control of folio sizes

From: Pankaj Raghav (Samsung)
Date: Fri Jun 07 2024 - 11:01:30 EST


From: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

We need filesystems to be able to communicate acceptable folio sizes
to the pagecache for a variety of uses (e.g. large block sizes).
Support a range of folio sizes between order-0 and order-31.
