Subject: mm/huge_memory: cache folio attribute in __split_unmapped_folio()
Date: Tue, 14 Oct 2025 13:46:02 +0000
Patch series "mm/huge_memory: cleanup __split_unmapped_folio()".
This series cleans up and optimizes the internal logic of folio splitting,
particularly focusing on __split_unmapped_folio().
The goal is to improve clarity and efficiency by eliminating redundant
checks, caching stable attribute values, and simplifying the iteration
logic used for updating folio statistics.
These changes make the code easier to follow and maintain.
This patch (of 5):
During the execution of __split_unmapped_folio(), the folio's anon/!anon
attribute is invariant (not expected to change).
Therefore, it is safe and more efficient to retrieve this attribute once
at the start and reuse it throughout the function.
