I think folio_copy() deserves kernel-doc.

/**
 * folio_copy - Copy the contents of one folio to another.
 * @dst: Folio to copy to.
 * @src: Folio to copy from.
 *
 * The bytes in the folio represented by @src are copied to @dst.
 * Assumes the caller has validated that @dst is at least as large as @src.
 * Can be called in atomic context for order-0 folios, but if the folio is
 * larger, it may sleep.
