[PATCH v3 1/7] mm/memfd: use folio_nr_pages() for shmem inode accounting
Posted by Chenghao Duan 1 week ago
memfd_luo_retrieve_folios() called shmem_inode_acct_blocks() and
shmem_recalc_inode() with hardcoded 1 instead of the actual folio
page count.  memfd may use large folios (THP/hugepages), causing
quota/limit under-accounting and incorrect stat output.

Fix by using folio_nr_pages(folio) for both functions.
