[PATCH v1 25/29] mm: simplify folio_expected_ref_count()

From: David Hildenbrand <hidden>
Date: 2025-06-30 13:01:34
Also in: linux-doc, linux-fsdevel, linux-mm, lkml, virtualization
Subsystem: memory management - core, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, David Hildenbrand, Linus Torvalds

Now that PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE is gone, we can simplify and rely on the
folio_test_anon() test only.

... but staring at the users, this function should never even have been
called on movable_ops pages. E.g.,
* __buffer_migrate_folio() does not make sense for them
* folio_migrate_mapping() does not make sense for them
* migrate_huge_page_move_mapping() does not make sense for them
* __migrate_folio() does not make sense for them
* ... and khugepaged should never stumble over them

Let's simply refuse typed pages (which includes slab) except hugetlb,
and WARN.
