[PATCH 16/28] mm: Reimplement compound_order()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Make compound_order() use struct folio.  It can't be turned into a wrapper
around folio_order() as a page can be turned into a tail page between
a check in compound_order() and the assertion in folio_test_large().
