Patch series "begin converting hugetlb code to folios", v4.
This patch series starts the conversion of the hugetlb code to operate on
struct folios rather than struct pages. This removes the ambiguitiy of
whether functions are operating on head pages, tail pages of compound
pages, or base pages.
This series passes the linux test project hugetlb test cases.
Patch 1 adds hugeltb specific page macros that can operate on folios.
Patch 2 adds the private field of the first tail page to struct page. For
32-bit, _private_1 alinging with page[1].private was confirmed by using
pahole.
Patch 3 introduces hugetlb subpool helper functions which operate on
struct folios. These patches were tested using the hugepage-mmap.c
selftest along with the migratepages command.
Patch 4 converts hugetlb_delete_from_page_cache() to use folios.
Patch 5 adds a folio_hstate() function to get hstate information from a
folio and adds a user of folio_hstate().
Bpftrace was used to track time spent in the free_huge_pages function
during the ltp test cases as it is a caller of the hugetlb subpool
functions. From the histogram, the performance is similar before and
after the patch series.

This patch (of 5):
Allow the macros which test, set, and clear hugetlb specific page flags to
take a hugetlb folio as an input. The macrros are generated as
folio_{test, set, clear}_hugetlb_{restore_reserve, migratable, temporary,
freed, vmemmap_optimized, raw_hwp_unreliable}.

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 Restructured Text 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.
