[RFC PATCH v1 00/10] mm: Introduce and use folio_owner_ops

Some folios, such as hugetlb folios and zone device folios,
require special handling when the folio's reference count reaches
0, before being freed. Moreover, guest_memfd folios will likely
require special handling to notify it once a folio's reference
count reaches 0, to facilitate shared to private folio conversion
[*]. Currently, each usecase has a dedicated callback when the
folio refcount reaches 0 to that effect. Adding yet more
callbacks is not ideal.

This patch series introduces struct folio_owner_ops and uses it
as a generic way to handle callbacks on freeing a folio. It also
applies the callbacks to hugetlb and zone device folios.

A pointer to struct folio_owner_ops is overlaid on struct page
compound_page, struct page/folio lru. To indicate that the folio
uses the callback, this patch series sets bit 1 of the new field,
similar to how bit 0 indicates a compound page.

Patches 1 to 6 rework the hugetlb code to allow us to reuse
folio->lru for the owner ops as long as they are not isolated.

Patches 7 to 10 introduce struct folio_owner_ops, and apply the
callbacks to zone device and hugetlb folios.

Cheers,
