[PATCH v3 02/11] fs: Allow fine-grained control of folio sizes

From: Pankaj Raghav (Samsung)
Date: Wed Mar 13 2024 - 14:31:35 EST


From: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Some filesystems want to be able to ensure that folios that are added to
the page cache are at least a certain size.
Add mapping_set_folio_min_order() to allow this level of control.
