mm/huge_memory: add split_huge_page_to_order()
Patch series "Optimize folio split in memory failure", v5.
This patchset optimizes folio split operations in memory failure code by
always splitting a folio to min_order_for_split() to minimize unusable
pages, even if min_order_for_split() is non zero and memory failure code
would take the failed path eventually for a successfully split folio.
This means instead of making the entire original folio unusable memory
failure code would only make its after-split folio, which has order of
min_order_for_split() and contains HWPoison page, unusable.
For soft offline case, since the original folio is still accessible, no
split is performed if the folio cannot be split to order-0 to prevent
potential performance loss.
In addition, add split_huge_page_to_order() to improve code readability
and fix kernel-doc comment format for folio_split() and other related
functions.
Background
==========
This patchset is a follow-up of "[PATCH v3] mm/huge_memory: do not change
split_huge_page*() target order silently."[1] and [PATCH v4]
mm/huge_memory: preserve PG_has_hwpoisoned if a folio is split to >0
order[2], since both are separated out as hotfixes. It improves how
memory failure code handles large block size(LBS) folios with
min_order_for_split() > 0. By splitting a large folio containing HW
poisoned pages to min_order_for_split(), the after-split folios without HW
poisoned pages could be freed for reuse. To achieve this, folio split
code needs to set has_hwpoisoned on after-split folios containing HW
poisoned pages and it is done in the hotfix in [2].
This patchset includes:
1. A patch adds split_huge_page_to_order(),
2. Patch 2 and Patch 3 of "[PATCH v2 0/3] Do not change split folio target
order"[3],
This patch (of 3):
When the caller does not supply a list to
split_huge_page_to_list_to_order(), use split_huge_page_to_order()
instead.
