Patch series "Optimize folio split in memory failure", v5. This patchset optimizes folio split operations in memory failure code by always splitting a folio to min_order_for_split() to minimize unusable pages, even if min_order_for_split() is non zero and memory failure code would take the failed path eventually for a successfully split folio. This means instead of making the entire original folio unusable memory failure code would only make its after-split folio, which has order of min_order_for_split() and contains HWPoison page, unusable. For soft offline case, since the original folio is still accessible, no split is performed if the folio cannot be split to order-0 to prevent potential performance loss. In addition, add split_huge_page_to_order() to improve code readability and fix kernel-doc comment format for folio_split() and other related functions. Background ========== This patchset is a follow-up of "[PATCH v3] mm/huge_memory: do not change split_huge_page*() target order silently."[1] and [PATCH v4] mm/huge_memory: preserve PG_has_hwpoisoned if a folio is split to >0 order[2], since both are separated out as hotfixes. It improves how memory failure code handles large block size(LBS) folios with min_order_for_split() > 0. By splitting a large folio containing HW poisoned pages to min_order_for_split(), the after-split folios without HW poisoned pages could be freed for reuse. To achieve this, folio split code needs to set has_hwpoisoned on after-split folios containing HW poisoned pages and it is done in the hotfix in [2]. This patchset includes: 1. A patch adds split_huge_page_to_order(), 2. Patch 2 and Patch 3 of "[PATCH v2 0/3] Do not change split folio target order"[3], This patch (of 3): When the caller does not supply a list to split_huge_page_to_list_to_order(), use split_huge_page_to_order() 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 reStructuredText 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.
