Looking at this some more, for v2 I am going to replace
set_page_dirty_lock() to be a wrapper around folio_mark_dirty_lock(),
eg something like
+int set_page_dirty_lock(struct page *page)
+{
+ return folio_mark_dirty_lock(page_folio(page));
+}
+EXPORT_SYMBOL(set_page_dirty_lock);
so that we have one source of truth for the logic. I'll remove your
Reviewed-by for this patch in v2 in case you have disagreements on the
newer v2 implementation.
Thanks,
Joanne
