Add folio_get_private() which mirrors page_private() -- ie folio private data is the same as page private data. The only difference is that these return a void * instead of an unsigned long, which matches the majority of users. Turn attach_page_private() into folio_attach_private() and reimplement attach_page_private() as a wrapper. No filesystem which uses page private data currently supports compound pages, so we're free to define the rules. attach_page_private() may only be called on a head page; if you want to add private data to a tail page, you can call set_page_private() directly (and shouldn't increment the page refcount! That should be done when adding private data to the head page / folio). This saves 813 bytes of text with the distro-derived config that I'm testing due to removing the calls to compound_head() in get_page() & put_page().

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.
