    mm: mlock: use folios and a folio batch internally · 90d07210
    Lorenzo Stoakes authored
    This brings mlock in line with the folio batches declared in mm/swap.c and
    makes the code more consistent across the two.
    
    The existing mechanism for identifying which operation each folio in the
    batch is undergoing is maintained, i.e.  using the lower 2 bits of the
    struct folio address (previously struct page address).  This should
    continue to function correctly as folios remain at least system
    word-aligned.
    
    All invocations of mlock() pass either a non-compound page or the head of
    a THP-compound page and no tail pages need updating so this functionality
    works with struct folios being used internally rather than struct pages.
    
    In this patch the external interface is kept identical to before in order
    to maintain separation between patches in the series, using a rather
    awkward conversion from struct page to struct folio in relevant functions.
    
    However, this maintenance of the existing interface is intended to be
    temporary - the next patch in the series will update the interfaces to
    accept folios directly.
