Subject: [Patch v3 4/4] mm/huge_memory: optimize old_order derivation during folio splitting
Date: Tue, 21 Oct 2025 21:21:42 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251021212142.25766-5-richard.weiyang@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251021212142.25766-1-richard.weiyang@gmail.com>
Folio splitting requires both the folio's original order (@old_order)
and the new target order (@split_order).
In the current implementation, @old_order is repeatedly retrieved using
folio_order().
However, for every iteration after the first, the folio being split is
the result of the previous split, meaning its order is already known to
be equal to the previous iteration's @split_order.
This commit optimizes the logic:
* Instead of calling folio_order(), we now set @old_order directly to
the value of @split_order from the previous iteration.
This change avoids unnecessary function calls and simplifies the loop
setup.
Also it removes a check for non-existent case, since for uniform
splitting we only do split when @split_order == @new_order.
