This looks correct to me, so notwithtsanding suggestion below, LGTM and:

This is really nice, but I wonder if (while we're here) we can't be even
more clear as to what's going on here, e.g.:
static int record_subpages(struct page *page, unsigned long sz,
unsigned long addr, unsigned long end,
struct page **pages)
{
size_t offset_in_folio = (addr & (sz - 1)) >> PAGE_SHIFT;
struct page *subpage = page + offset_in_folio;
for (; addr != end; addr += PAGE_SIZE)
*pages++ = subpage++;
return nr;
}
Or some variant of that with the masking stuff self-documented.
