[ Upstream commit 318e9342fbbb6888d903d86e83865609901a1c65 ] Patch series "Convert deactivate_page() to folio_deactivate()", v4. Deactivate_page() has already been converted to use folios. This patch series modifies the callers of deactivate_page() to use folios. It also introduces vm_normal_folio() to assist with folio conversions, and converts deactivate_page() to folio_deactivate() which takes in a folio. This patch (of 4): Introduce a wrapper function called vm_normal_folio(). This function calls vm_normal_page() and returns the folio of the page found, or null if no page is found. This function allows callers to get a folio from a pte, which will eventually allow them to completely replace their struct page variables with struct folio instead.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
