Introduce helper functions to check whether a buffer can
be coalesced or not, and gather folio data for later use.

The coalescing optimizes time and space consumption caused
by mapping and storing multi-hugepage fixed buffers.

A coalescable multi-hugepage buffer should fully cover its folios
(except potentially the first and last one), and these folios should
have the same size. These requirements are for easier later process,
also we need same size'd chunks in io_import_fixed for fast iov_iter
adjust.

Will change it.

Should be pages[0]. page[1] can be in another folio, and even
though data->nr_pages_head > 1 protects against touching it,
it's still flimsy.

But here it is unpinning the tail pages inside those coalesceable folios,
I think we only unpin pages[0] when failure, am I right? And in
__io_sqe_buffer_try_coalesce we have ensured that pages[1:nr_head_pages] are
in same folio and contiguous.

We want the entire folio to still be pinned, but don't want to
leave just one reference and not care down the line how many
refcounts / etc. you have to put down.

void unpin_user_page(struct page *page)
{
	sanity_check_pinned_pages(&page, 1);
	gup_put_folio(page_folio(page), 1, FOLL_PIN);
}

And all that goes to the folio as a single object, so doesn't
really matter which page you pass. Anyway, let's then leave it
as is then, I wish there would be unpin_folio_nr(), but there
is unpin_user_page_range_dirty_lock() resembling it.

+
+	j = data->nr_pages_head;
+	nr_pages -= data->nr_pages_head;
+	for (i = 1; i < data->nr_folios; i++) {
+		unsigned int nr_unpin;
+
+		nr_unpin = min_t(unsigned int, nr_pages - 1,
+					data->nr_pages_mid - 1);
+		if (nr_unpin == 0)
+			break;
+		unpin_user_pages(&pages[j+1], nr_unpin);
same
+		j += data->nr_pages_mid;
And instead of duplicating this voodoo iteration later,
please just assemble a new compacted ->nr_folios sized
page array.

Indeed, a new page array would make things a lot easier.
If alloc overhead is not a concern here, then yeah I'll change it.

It's not, and the upside is reducing memory footprint,
which would be noticeable with huge pages. It's also
kvmalloc'ed, so compacting also improves the TLB situation.
