Subject: mm: shmem: refactor thpsize_shmem_enabled_store() with sysfs_match_string()
Date: Mon, 25 May 2026 10:26:59 +0000
Patch series "refactors thpsize_shmem_enabled_store() and
thpsize_shmem_enabled_show()", v4.
This patch (of 2):
Inspired by commit 82d9ff648c6c ("mm: huge_memory: refactor
anon_enabled_store() with set_anon_enabled_mode()"), refactor
thpsize_shmem_enabled_store() using sysfs_match_string(). This eliminates
the duplicated spin_lock/unlock(), set/clear_bit(), calls across all
branches, reducing code duplication.
Behavioral change:
Call start_stop_khugepaged() only when the mode actually changes.
If unchanged, call set_recommended_min_free_kbytes() to preserve
legacy watermark behavior. This avoids unnecessary khugepaged restarts.
Tested with selftests ./run_kselftest.sh -t mm:ksft_thp.sh,
all test cases passed.
