Page cache folios from a file system that support large block size (LBS)
can have minimal folio order greater than 0, thus a high order folio might
not be able to be split down to order-0. Commit e220917fa507 ("mm: split
a folio in minimum folio order chunks") bumps the target order of
split_huge_page*() to the minimum allowed order when splitting a LBS
folio. This causes confusion for some split_huge_page*() callers like
memory failure handling code, since they expect after-split folios all
have order-0 when split succeeds but in reality get min_order_for_split()
order folios and give warnings.
Fix it by failing a split if the folio cannot be split to the target
order. Rename try_folio_split() to try_folio_split_to_order() to reflect
the added new_order parameter. Remove its unused list parameter.
[The test poisons LBS folios, which cannot be split to order-0 folios, and
also tries to poison all memory. The non split LBS folios take more
memory than the test anticipated, leading to OOM. The patch fixed the
kernel warning and the test needs some change to avoid OOM.]

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.
