Add folio equivalents for set_compound_order() and set_compound_page_dtor().

Also remove extra new-lines introduced by mm/hugetlb: convert
move_hugetlb_state() to folios and mm/hugetlb_cgroup: convert
hugetlb_cgroup_uncharge_page() to folios.

It seems that you think the user could pass 0 to order. However,
->_folio_nr_pages and ->_folio_order fields are invalid for order-0 pages.
You should not touch it. So this should be:

static inline void folio_set_compound_order(struct folio *folio,
     unsigned int order)
{
    if (!folio_test_large(folio))
        return;

    folio->_folio_order = order;
#ifdef CONFIG_64BIT
    folio->_folio_nr_pages = 1U << order;
#endif
}

I believe this was changed to accommodate the code in
__destroy_compound_gigantic_page().  It is used in a subsequent patch.
Here is the v6.0 version of the routine.

Thanks for your clarification.


static void __destroy_compound_gigantic_page(struct page *page,
unsigned int order, bool demote)
{
    int i;
    int nr_pages = 1 << order;
    struct page *p = page + 1;

    atomic_set(compound_mapcount_ptr(page), 0);
    atomic_set(compound_pincount_ptr(page), 0);

    for (i = 1; i < nr_pages; i++, p = mem_map_next(p, page, i)) {
        p->mapping = NULL;
        clear_compound_head(p);
        if (!demote)
            set_page_refcounted(p);
    }

    set_compound_order(page, 0);
#ifdef CONFIG_64BIT
    page[1].compound_nr = 0;
#endif
    __ClearPageHead(page);
}


Might have been better to change this set_compound_order call to
folio_set_compound_order in this patch.


Agree. It has confused me a lot. I suggest changing the code to the
followings. The folio_test_large() check is still to avoid unexpected
users for OOB.

static inline void folio_set_compound_order(struct folio *folio,
                        unsigned int order)
{
    VM_BUG_ON_FOLIO(!folio_test_large(folio), folio);
    // or
    // if (!folio_test_large(folio))
    //     return;

    folio->_folio_order = order;
#ifdef CONFIG_64BIT
    folio->_folio_nr_pages = order ? 1U << order : 0;
#endif
}

I think the VM_BUG_ON_FOLIO is appropriate as it would at least flag
data corruption.

As Mike pointed out, my intention with supporting the 0 case was to cleanup the __destroy_compound_gigantic_page code by moving the ifdef CONFIG_64BIT lines to folio_set_compound_order(). I'll add the VM_BUG_ON_FOLIO line as well as a comment to make it clear it is not normally supported.

Thinking about this some more, it seems that hugetlb is the only caller
that abuses folio_set_compound_order (and previously set_compound_order)
by passing in a zero order.  Since it is unlikely that anyone knows of
this abuse, it might be good to add a comment to the routine to note
why it handles the zero case.  This might help prevent changes which
would potentially break hugetlb.

+/*
+ * _folio_nr_pages and _folio_order are invalid for
+ * order-zero pages. An exception is hugetlb, which passes
+ * in a zero order in __destroy_compound_gigantic_page().
+ */
  static inline void folio_set_compound_order(struct folio *folio,
                 unsigned int order)
  {
+       VM_BUG_ON_FOLIO(!folio_test_large(folio), folio);
+
         folio->_folio_order = order;
  #ifdef CONFIG_64BIT
         folio->_folio_nr_pages = order ? 1U << order : 0;

Does this comment work?



I will change the comment from referencing __destory_compound_gigantic_page() to __destroy_compound_gigantic_folio, although __prep_compound_gigantic_folio() is another user of folio_set_compound_order(folio, 0). Should the sentence just be "An exception is hugetlb, which passes in a zero order"?
