To minimize the number of pages after a huge page truncation, we do not need to split it all the way down to order-0. The huge page has at most three parts, the part before offset, the part to be truncated, the part remaining at the end. Find the greatest common divisor of them to calculate the new page order from it, so we can split the huge page to this order and keep the remaining pages as large and as few as possible.

Given you have up to 2 regions remaining, isn't it possible that you want a different order for both those regions (or even multiple orders within the same region)? I guess you just choose gcd for simplicity?

I guess this would need to change if supporting order-1 file folios?

I know you are discussing removing this patch, but since you created split_folio_to_order() wouldn't that be better here?
Thanks, Ryan
