Let's use folio_walk instead, for example avoiding taking temporary folio references if the folio does obviously not even apply and getting rid of one more follow_page() user. We cannot move all handling under the PTL, so leave the rmap handling (which implies an allocation) out. Note that zeropages obviously don't apply: old code could just have specified FOLL_DUMP. Further, we don't care about losing the secretmem check in follow_page(): these are never anon pages and vma_ksm_compatible() would never consider secretmem vmas (VM_SHARED | VM_MAYSHARE must be set for secretmem, see secretmem_mmap()).

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.
