Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) ee1ee8abc4 slab: Remove folio references from __ksize()
In the future, we will separate slab, folio and page from each other
and calling virt_to_folio() on an address allocated from slab will
return NULL.  Delay the conversion from struct page to struct slab
until we know we're not dealing with a large kmalloc allocation.
There's a minor win for large kmalloc allocations as we avoid the
compound_head() hidden in virt_to_folio().

This deprecates calling ksize() on memory allocated by alloc_pages().
Today it becomes a warning and support will be removed entirely in
the future.

Introduce large_kmalloc_size() to abstract how we represent the size
of a large kmalloc allocation.  For now, this is the same as
page_size(), but it will change with separately allocated memdescs.

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.
