Subject: mm: add folios_put()
Date: Fri, 17 Jun 2022 18:49:59 +0100
Patch series "Convert the swap code to be more folio-based".
There's still more to do with the swap code, but this reaps a lot of the
folio benefit. More than 4kB of kernel text saved (with the UEK7 kernel
config). I don't know how much that's going to translate into CPU
savings, but some of those compound_head() calls are on every page free,
so it should be noticable. It might even be noticable just from an
I-cache consumption perspective.
This patch (of 22):
This is just a wrapper around release_pages() for now. Place the
prototype in mm.h along with folio_put() and folio_put_refs().
