After revisiting the design, I believe `struct z_erofs_bvec` should be page-based instead of folio-based due to the reasons below: - The minimized memory mapping block is a page; - Under the certain circumstances, only temporary pages needs to be used instead of folios since refcount, mapcount for such pages are unnecessary; - Decompressors handle all types of pages including temporary pages, not only folios. When handling `struct z_erofs_bvec`, all folio-related information is now accessed using the page_folio() helper. The final goal of this round adaptation is to eliminate direct accesses to `struct page` in the EROFS codebase, except for some exceptions like `z_erofs_is_shortlived_page()` and `z_erofs_page_is_invalidated()`, which require a new helper to determine the memdesc type of an arbitrary page. Actually large folios of compressed files seem to work now, yet I tend to conduct more tests before officially enabling this for all scenarios.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
