Subject: fs: stable_page_flags(): use folio_test_*() helpers
Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2026 11:30:20 +0800

Since commit 304daa8132a9 ("maps4: add /proc/kpageflags interface"),
/proc/kpageflags directly operates on page->flags to determine page
status.  Later, commit 177975495914 ("proc: export more page flags in
/proc/kpageflags") started using page helper functions when exposing new
flags, leading to a mix of both approaches.

For tail pages, the original code did not return corresponding status. 
commit 0a71649cb724 ("/proc/kpageflags: return KPF_SLAB for slab tail
pages") and commit 832fc1de01ae ("/proc/kpageflags: return KPF_BUDDY for
"tail" buddy pages") made tail slab/buddy pages also return corresponding
status.  Then commit dee3d0bef2b0 ("proc: rewrite stable_page_flags()")
made all tail pages return the same status as their head page, except for
hwpoison and mapped flags.  It also cached the folio's flags and operate
on the flags directly to avoid concurrency issues if using folio_test_*()
helpers.

Since commit 476d87d6a061 ("fs: stable_page_flags(): use
snapshot_page()"), we can now safely switch to folio_test_*() helpers
instead of directly operating on flags, which is more readable and
consistent with the rest of the kernel.  Only convert cfolio-specific
flags (i.e., anon, ksm, swapcache) to folio_test_*() helpers, which
reduces redundant code.  Keep others unchanged due to they aren't
folio-specific flags or coverting them doesn't cleanup.

No functional change is intended.
