The patch titled Subject: buffer: convert grow_dev_page() to use a folio has been added to the -mm mm-unstable branch. Its filename is buffer-convert-grow_dev_page-to-use-a-folio.patch This patch will shortly appear at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/buffer-convert-grow_dev_page-to-use-a-folio.patch This patch will later appear in the mm-unstable branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next via the mm-everything branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm and is updated there every 2-3 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: buffer: convert grow_dev_page() to use a folio Date: Mon, 12 Jun 2023 22:01:37 +0100 Get a folio from the page cache instead of a page, then use the folio API throughout. Removes a few calls to compound_head() and may be needed to support block size > PAGE_SIZE.
