Subject: mm/filemap: map entire large folio faultaround
Date: Tue, 23 Sep 2025 12:07:10 +0100

Currently, kernel only maps part of large folio that fits into
start_pgoff/end_pgoff range.

Map entire folio where possible.  It will match finish_fault() behaviour
that user hits on cold page cache.

Mapping large folios at once will allow the rmap code to mlock it on add,
as it will recognize that it is fully mapped and mlocking is safe.
