Introduction
============

This series introduces snapshot_page(), a helper function that can be used
to create a snapshot of a struct page and its associated struct folio.

This function is intended to help callers with a consistent view of a
a folio while reducing the chance of encountering partially updated or
inconsistent state, such as during folio splitting which could lead to
crashes and BUG_ON()s being triggered.
