Subject: mm: add largest_zero_folio() routine
X-Git-Url: https://www.infradead.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=50532c58f03b3e76f5cb59954e24cd676bdd745c;p=users%2Fjedix%2Flinux-maple.git
mm: add largest_zero_folio() routine
The callers of mm_get_huge_zero_folio() have access to a mm struct and the
lifetime of the huge_zero_folio is tied to the lifetime of the mm struct.
largest_zero_folio() will give access to huge_zero_folio when
PERSISTENT_HUGE_ZERO_FOLIO config option is enabled for callers that do
not want to tie the lifetime to a mm struct. This is very useful for
filesystem and block layers where the request completions can be async and
there is no guarantee on the mm struct lifetime.
This function will return a ZERO_PAGE folio if PERSISTENT_HUGE_ZERO_FOLIO
is disabled or if we failed to allocate a huge_zero_folio during early
init.
