Subject: [PATCH mm-new 2/3] mm: clean up and expose is_guard_pte_marker()
Date: Sun, 14 Sep 2025 22:35:46 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250914143547.27687-3-lance.yang@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250914143547.27687-1-lance.yang@linux.dev>

From: Lance Yang <lance.yang@linux.dev>

is_guard_pte_marker() performs a redundant check because it calls both
is_pte_marker() and is_guard_swp_entry(), both of which internally check
for a PTE marker.

is_guard_pte_marker()
 |- is_pte_marker()
 |   `- is_pte_marker_entry()  // First check
 `- is_guard_swp_entry()
     `- is_pte_marker_entry()  // Second, redundant check

While a modern compiler could likely optimize this away, let's have clean
code and not rely on it ;)

Also, make it available for hugepage collapsing code.
