[PATCH v4 11/17] mm/huge_memory: move filemap management into the file split helper

From: Kairui Song via B4 Relay

Date: Mon Sep 07 2026 - 14:14:48 EST


From: Kairui Song <kasong@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Only file split needs the filemap and xarray handling and related
variables. Move them out of __folio_split() into the file helper so
the helper is self-contained, and simplify the parameters.

No functional change.
