The page_ext_next() function assumes that page extension objects for a
page order allocation always reside in the same memory section, which
may not be true and could lead to crashes. Use the new page_ext
iteration API instead.

I assume moving that is fine ...

... here you are not moving it?


In general, LGTM, only the remaining page_ext_put() are a bit confusing.

Which part you found confusing: the fact that I'm not moving them up or that
we still make use of them?

For this hunk, I decided to keep them where they are because 'new_page_owner',
which is a page extension from 'next_ext', is still used in the last loop. So
I decided to free them all at the end for simplicity.

The other part is, page_ext_get() and page_ext_put() are still valid functions
for getting specific page extensions outside of loops and the usage in
__folio_copy_owner() (and a few other cases) seems valid to me.
