Subject: [PATCH 3/4] mm/mm_init: move the range check and clamping inside ZONE_MOVABLE branch
Date: Tue, 4 Aug 2026 23:48:00 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260804144803.3290255-4-ekffu200098@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260804144803.3290255-1-ekffu200098@gmail.com>
Outside the ZONE_MOVABLE branch the check and the clamping have no
effect, because every branch ends with one of the following.
- *zone_start_pfn == *zone_end_pfn, so the function returns 0 anyway.
- node_start_pfn <= *zone_start_pfn <= *zone_end_pfn <= node_end_pfn,
so the check does not return 0 and max(*zone_start_pfn,
node_start_pfn) is always *zone_start_pfn.
The branches set *zone_start_pfn and *zone_end_pfn as follows.
1. If zone_movable_pfn[nid] != 0 && zone_type == ZONE_MOVABLE,
*zone_start_pfn = zone_movable_pfn[nid] and *zone_end_pfn =
min(node_end_pfn, ...).
2. Else If zone_movable_pfn[nid] != 0 && !mirrored_kernelcore &&
*zone_start_pfn < zone_movable_pfn[nid] < *zone_end_pfn,
*zone_end_pfn = zone_movable_pfn[nid].
The condition requires the clamped *zone_start_pfn and
*zone_end_pfn to differ, which cannot happen when node_end_pfn <
zone_low or node_start_pfn > zone_high.
So *zone_start_pfn = max(node_start_pfn, zone_low) >=
node_start_pfn, and zone_movable_pfn[nid] < clamped *zone_end_pfn =
min(node_end_pfn, zone_high) <= node_end_pfn.
So node_start_pfn <= *zone_start_pfn < *zone_end_pfn <=
node_end_pfn.
3. Else If zone_movable_pfn[nid] != 0 && *zone_start_pfn >=
zone_movable_pfn[nid], *zone_start_pfn = *zone_end_pfn.
4. Else *zone_start_pfn = clamp(node_start_pfn, zone_low, zone_high)
and *zone_end_pfn = clamp(node_end_pfn, zone_low, zone_high)
a. If node_end_pfn < zone_low, *zone_start_pfn = *zone_end_pfn =
zone_low.
b. If node_start_pfn > zone_high, *zone_start_pfn = *zone_end_pfn =
zone_high.
c. If node_end_pfn >= zone_low && node_start_pfn <= zone_high,
node_start_pfn <= *zone_start_pfn <= *zone_end_pfn <=
node_end_pfn.
So move both inside the ZONE_MOVABLE branch.
No functional change.
