Re: [PATCH 00/14] mm/ksm: merge-path cleanups and folio conversion

Thanks for the review. You are right that I did not justify the
page/folio boundary clearly enough.

Patches 11-13 only avoid converting the target page back to a folio and
provide no functional or performance benefit by themselves.

I will separate the independent cleanups and drop or rework 11-13 after
getting guidance from the KSM maintainers. I also found a NULL/bisectability
issue in v1 patch 12, which I will fix before any follow-up.

Thanks,
Longlong
