[PATCH v4 05/25] mm: Add put_folio

From: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)
Date: Thu Mar 04 2021 - 23:19:36 EST


If we know we have a folio, we can call put_folio() instead of put_page()
and save the overhead of calling compound_head(). Also skips the
devmap checks.

This commit looks like it should be a no-op, but actually saves 1714 bytes
of text with the distro-derived config that I'm testing. Some functions
grow a little while others shrink. I presume the compiler is making
different inlining decisions.
