Date: Sun, 16 Jan 2022 12:18:14 +0000 From: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@...radead.org> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, linux-mm@...ck.org, linux-fsdevel@...r.kernel.org Cc: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@...radead.org> Subject: [PATCH 04/12] mm/vmscan: Free non-shmem folios without splitting them We have to allocate memory in order to split a file-backed folio, so it's not a good idea to split them in the memory freeing path. It also doesn't work for XFS because pages have an extra reference count from page_has_private() and split_huge_page() expects that reference to have already been removed. Unfortunately, we still have to split shmem THPs because we can't handle swapping out an entire THP yet.
