[PATCH] mm/memory_failure: reject unsupported non-folio compound page

From: Zi Yan

Date: Wed Feb 04 2026 - 19:56:59 EST


When !CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE, a non-folio compound page can appear in
a userspace mapping via either vm_insert_*() functions or
vm_operatios_struct->fault(). They are not folios, thus should not be
considered for folio operations like split. Change memory_failure() and
soft_offline_page() to reject these non-folio compound pages as
EOPNOTSUPP.

Add PageNonFolioCompound() helper function. This function is functionally
equivalent to folio_test_large() && !folio_test_large_rmappable(), but it
is supposed to be used on struct page. So open code it instead.
