Subject: [PATCH mm-unstable] mm: move folio_set_compound_order() to mm/internal.h

folio_set_compound_order() is moved to an mm-internal location so external
folio users cannot misuse this function. Change the name of the function
to folio_set_order() and use WARN_ON_ONCE() rather than BUG_ON. Also,
handle the case if a non-large folio is passed and add clarifying comments
to the function.

Would it be better to do this (below)? I'm not sure of the value of
warning on "order"--it's a little odd and unexplained and doesn't really
do anything more helpful than simply warning about what why the code is
failing, which is really about !large, rather than order. Unless I'm
missing something?

if (WARN_ON_ONCE(!folio_test_large(folio)))
return;

Sorry to drive you crazy over nits. This is the last one from me. :)

Hi Muchun,

Does this review include the change from

+ if (!folio_test_large(folio)) {
+ WARN_ON_ONCE(order);
+ return;
+ }

to

if (WARN_ON_ONCE(!folio_test_large(folio)))
return;

discussed in in this thread?

Yes thanks, I'm looking at patches in the wrong order. I'll drop the
above delta.

I think that's out of date?

We eventually settled on the version that is (as of this a few minutes
ago) already in mm-unstable (commit fdea060a130d: "mm: move
folio_set_compound_order() to mm/internal.h"), which has it like this:

if (WARN_ON_ONCE(!folio_test_large(folio)))
return;

That's a little narrower of a check. But maybe that's desirable. Could
someone (Mike, Muchun, Sidhartha) comment on which behavior is
preferable, please? I think I'm a little dizzy at this point. :)

Hi Andrew, yes this version that is already in mm-unstable represents
the v2 of this patch which is what we agreed on. I think the patch
mm-move-folio_set_compound_order-to-mm-internalh-update with description
"alter the folio_set_order() warning" which was just added to
mm-unstable should be removed as our discussion lead us away from that
version.

Ya I think it would helpful to have a wider catch for the warn as any
user calling folio_set_order() with a non-large folio should be aware as
they could misuse the folio later on even if they passed in a 0 order
because order itself would be an OOB access.

This differs from the version I previously merged:

+++ a/mm/internal.h

folio->_folio_order = order;

Makes sense. But wouldn't

if (WARN_ON_ONCE(order && !folio_test_large(folio)))

be clearer?
