Currently for s390x HW zlib compression, to get the best performance we need a buffer size which is larger than a page. This means we need to copy multiple pages into workspace->buf, then use that buffer as zlib compression input. Currently it's hardcoded using page sized folio, and all the handling are deep inside a loop. Refactor the code by: - Introduce a dedicated helper to do the buffer copy The new helper will be called copy_data_into_buffer(). - Add extra ASSERT()s * Make sure we only go into the function for hardware acceleration * Make sure we still get page sized folio - Prepare for future large folios This means we will rely on the folio size, other than PAGE_SIZE to do the copy. - Handle the folio mapping and unmapping inside the helper function For S390x hardware acceleration case, it never utilize the @data_in pointer, thus we can do folio mapping/unmapping all inside the function.

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.
