Subject: [PATCH v2 1/1] mm: reduce NODE_RECLAIM_xxx and change to enum
Date: Fri, 12 Jun 2026 10:50:52 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260612085052.59291-1-ptesarik@suse.com> (raw)
Change node_reclaim() to return an enum indicating whether any
pages have been reclaimed, because that's all the information
needed by the only caller, get_page_from_freelist().
This leads to the following translation of the old macro
identifiers to the new enum values:
- NODE_RECLAIM_NOSCAN -> NODE_RECLAIM_NONE
- NODE_RECLAIM_FULL -> NODE_RECLAIM_NONE
- NODE_RECLAIM_SOME -> NODE_RECLAIM_SUCCESS
- NODE_RECLAIM_SUCCESS -> NODE_RECLAIM_SUCCESS
Originally, I was looking for occurences of NODE_RECLAIM_SOME
and NODE_RECLAIM_SUCCESS, but I couldn't find any. That's because
they are typecast from the result of a relational operator. This
seemed a bit fragile, so I dug a bit deeper and came up with this
proposed cleanup.

Changes from v1:
- use an enum instead of a bool
