mm: Add folio_put_refs()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This is like folio_put(), but puts N references at once instead of
just one.  It's like put_page_refs(), but does one atomic operation
instead of two, and is available to more than just gup.c.

* folio_put_refs - Reduce the reference count on a folio.
* @folio: The folio.
* @refs: The amount to subtract from the folio's reference count.
*
* If the folio's reference count reaches zero, the memory will be
* released back to the page allocator and may be used by another
* allocation immediately. Do not access the memory or the struct folio
* after calling folio_put_refs() unless you can be sure that these weren't
* the last references.
*
* Context: May be called in process or interrupt context, but not in NMI
* context. May be called while holding a spinlock.
