Patch series "Split a folio to any lower order folios", v5. File folio supports any order and multi-size THP is upstreamed[1], so both file and anonymous folios can be >0 order. Currently, split_huge_page() only splits a huge page to order-0 pages, but splitting to orders higher than 0 might better utilize large folios, if done properly. In addition, Large Block Sizes in XFS support would benefit from it during truncate[2]. This patchset adds support for splitting a large folio to any lower order folios. In addition to this implementation of split_huge_page_to_list_to_order(), a possible optimization could be splitting a large folio to arbitrary smaller folios instead of a single order. As both Hugh and Ryan pointed out [3,5] that split to a single order might not be optimal, an order-9 folio might be better split into 1 order-8, 1 order-7, ..., 1 order-1, and 2 order-0 folios, depending on subsequent folio operations. Leave this as future work.

Make it conditional.

README
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.
