mm/huge_memory: change folio_split_supported() to folio_check_splittable()
Patch series "Improve folio split related functions", v4. This patchset improves several folio split related functions to avoid future misuse. The changes are: 1. Consolidated folio splittable checks by moving truncated folio check, huge zero folio check, and writeback folio check into folio_split_supported(). Changed the function return type. Renamed it to folio_check_splittable() for clarification. 2. Replaced can_split_folio() with open coded folio_expected_ref_count() and folio_ref_count() and introduced folio_cache_ref_count(). 3. Changed min_order_for_split() to always return an order. 4. Fixed folio split stats counting. Motivation ========== This is based on Wei's observation[1] and solves several potential issues: 1. Dereferencing NULL folio->mapping in try_folio_split_to_order() if it is called on truncated folios. 2. Not handling of negative return value of min_order_for_split() in mm/memory-failure.c There is no bug in the current code. This patch (of 4): folio_split_supported() used in try_folio_split_to_order() requires folio->mapping to be non NULL, but current try_folio_split_to_order() does not check it. There is no issue in the current code, since try_folio_split_to_order() is only used in truncate_inode_partial_folio(), where folio->mapping is not NULL. To prevent future misuse, move folio->mapping NULL check (i.e., folio is truncated) into folio_split_supported(). Since folio->mapping NULL check returns -EBUSY and folio_split_supported() == false means -EINVAL, change folio_split_supported() return type from bool to int and return error numbers accordingly. Rename folio_split_supported() to folio_check_splittable() to match the return type change. While at it, move is_huge_zero_folio() check and folio_test_writeback() check into folio_check_splittable() and add kernel-doc. Remove all warnings inside folio_check_splittable() and give warnings in __folio_split() instead, so that bool warns parameter can be removed.
