Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] mm/ksm: add initialization helpers for scan_get_next_rmap_item()
Date: Sun, 15 Nov 2026 16:00:49 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261115080049.132515-1-xu.xin@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261115075832.132109-1-xu.xin@linux.dev>
Extract the new scan cycle check into scan_should_start_new_cycle()
and add the helper scan_get_first_mm() that advances the scan
cursor to the first mm_slot.
This keeps the exact execution order intact while making
scan_get_next_rmap_item() cleaner and easier to follow.
No functional change intended.

Changes in v2:
- Rename scan_begin_new_cycle() to scan_should_start_new_cycle() and keep
it simple (David).
- Keep lru_add_drain_all() in scan_get_next_rmap_item() (David).
- Use scoped_guard(spinlock, &ksm_mmlist_lock) in scan_get_first_mm()
(Lorenzo).
- Keep Lorenzo's Reviewed-by tag as the changes are minor and follow the
suggested cleanups (please let me know if you prefer otherwise).
