[PATCH v7 1/3] mm/page_alloc: free_prepared_contig_range() takes fpi_t

From: Jiaqi Yan

Date: Tue Nov 10 2026 - 00:35:32 EST


A future commit introducing free_has_hwpoisoned() to be called within
__free_pages_prepare() will need to pass specific fpi_t flags when
freeing a contiguous range of pages. Currently,
free_prepared_contig_range() hardcodes the FPI_PREPARED flag and
does not accept any caller-provided flags.

Refactor free_prepared_contig_range() to accept an fpi_t argument.
It bitwise ORs the new argument with FPI_PREPARED when calling
into __free_frozen_pages(). Update all current invocation sites
in __free_contig_range_common() to pass FPI_NONE.

This is a preparatory commit with no functional changes.
