It isn't clear what's being fixed here.  Presumably something is
passing in such folios, but what and where and why and what are the
effects?

Might it be that these folios are being caused by the debugfs
interface?  Or something else?

So I'll add it, but I do think more information and context would
improve the patch, please.  Suitable Reported-by:, Closes: and Link:
tags, perhaps.
