folio_split() splits a large folio in the same way as buddy allocator splits a large free page for allocation. The purpose is to minimize the number of folios after the split. For example, if user wants to free the 3rd subpage in a order-9 folio, folio_split() will split the order-9 folio as: O-0, O-0, O-0, O-0, O-2, O-3, O-4, O-5, O-6, O-7, O-8 if it is anon, since anon folio does not support order-1 yet.
| | | | | | | | | |O-0|O-0|O-0|O-0| O-2 |...| O-7 | O-8 | | | | | | | | | |
O-1, O-0, O-0, O-2, O-3, O-4, O-5, O-6, O-7, O-9 if it is pagecache
| | | | | | | | | O-1 |O-0|O-0| O-2 |...| O-7 | O-8 | | | | | | | | |
It generates fewer folios (i.e., 11 or 10) than existing page split approach, which splits the order-9 to 512 order-0 folios. It also reduces the number of new xa_node needed during a pagecache folio split from 8 to 1, potentially decreasing the folio split failure rate due to memory constraints.
folio_split() and existing split_huge_page_to_list_to_order() share the folio unmapping and remapping code in __folio_split() and the common backend split code in __split_unmapped_folio() using uniform_split variable to distinguish their operations.
uniform_split_supported() and non_uniform_split_supported() are added to factor out check code and will be used outside __folio_split() in the following commit.

In this (and a similar case below), you need
if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS) && !folio_test_anon(folio) && !mapping_large_folio_support(folio->mapping)) {
Otherwise mapping_large_folio_support() is unhappy:
