The use of a pointer to store values like this is a little ugly but it's confined to the helpers whose naming makes it obvious what is going on. It would be done with bit-fields and the like but I don't think it helps the readability a whole lot. > > static void adjust_vma_resv_huge_pages(struct vm_area_struct *vma, int delta) > > { > > unsigned long reserve; > > + unsigned long flags; > > VM_BUG_ON(vma->vm_flags & VM_SHARED); > > VM_BUG_ON(!is_vm_hugetlb_page(vma)); > > > > reserve = (unsigned long)vma->vm_private_data + delta; > > - vma->vm_private_data = (void *)reserve; > > + flags = (unsigned long)vma->vm_private_data & HPAGE_RESV_MASK; > > + vma->vm_private_data = (void *)(reserve | flags); > > } > > > > +/* Reset counters to 0 and clear all HPAGE_RESV_* flags */ > > void reset_vma_resv_huge_pages(struct vm_area_struct *vma) > > { > > VM_BUG_ON(!is_vm_hugetlb_page(vma)); > > @@ -73,10 +79,27 @@ void reset_vma_resv_huge_pages(struct vm > > static void set_vma_resv_huge_pages(struct vm_area_struct *vma, > > unsigned long reserve) > > { > > + unsigned long flags; > > + > > VM_BUG_ON(!is_vm_hugetlb_page(vma)); > > VM_BUG_ON(vma->vm_flags & VM_SHARED); > > > > - vma->vm_private_data = (void *)reserve; > > + flags = (unsigned long)vma->vm_private_data & HPAGE_RESV_MASK; > > + vma->vm_private_data = (void *)(reserve | flags); > > +} > > + > > +static void set_vma_resv_flags(struct vm_area_struct *vma, unsigned long flags) > > +{ > > + unsigned long reserveflags = (unsigned long)vma->vm_private_data; > > + VM_BUG_ON(!is_vm_hugetlb_page(vma)); > > + reserveflags |= flags; > > + vma->vm_private_data = (void *)reserveflags; > > +} > > + > > +static int is_vma_resv_set(struct vm_area_struct *vma, unsigned long flag) > > +{ > > + VM_BUG_ON(!is_vm_hugetlb_page(vma)); > > + return ((unsigned long)vma->vm_private_data & flag) != 0; > > } > > > > static void clear_huge_page(struct page *page, unsigned long addr) > > @@ -139,7 +162,7 @@ static void decrement_hugepage_resv_vma( > > * Only the process that called mmap() has reserves for > > * private mappings. > > */ > > - if (vma_resv_huge_pages(vma)) { > > + if (is_vma_resv_set(vma, HPAGE_RESV_OWNER)) { > > resv_huge_pages--; > > adjust_vma_resv_huge_pages(vma, -1); > > } > > -- > Adam Litke - (agl at us.ibm.com) > IBM Linux Technology Center > -- Mel Gorman Part-time Phd Student Linux Technology Center University of Limerick IBM Dublin Software Lab -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
