folio_index() is the equivalent of page_index() for folios.  folio_page()
finds the page in a folio for a page cache index.  folio_contains()
tells you whether a folio contains a particular page cache index.

One would expect folio_page() to be the reverse of page_folio(), only
it isn't anything like that.
It is ... but only for files.  So maybe folio_file_page()?
