The quilt patch titled Subject: mm: support order-1 folios in the page cache has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-support-order-1-folios-in-the-page-cache.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm: support order-1 folios in the page cache Date: Mon, 26 Feb 2024 15:55:28 -0500 Folios of order 1 have no space to store the deferred list. This is not a problem for the page cache as file-backed folios are never placed on the deferred list. All we need to do is prevent the core MM from touching the deferred list for order 1 folios and remove the code which prevented us from allocating order 1 folios.
