Subject: [PATCH v6 2/4] mm: huge_memory: refactor anon_enabled_store() with change_anon_orders()
Date: Wed, 11 Mar 2026 03:17:48 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260311-thp_logs-v6-2-421e30d881e0@debian.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260311-thp_logs-v6-0-421e30d881e0@debian.org>
Consolidate the repeated spin_lock/set_bit/clear_bit pattern in
anon_enabled_store() into a new change_anon_orders() helper that
loops over an orders[] array, setting the bit for the selected mode
and clearing the others.
Introduce enum anon_enabled_mode and anon_enabled_mode_strings[]
for the per-order anon THP setting.
Use sysfs_match_string() with the anon_enabled_mode_strings[] table
to replace the if/else chain of sysfs_streq() calls.
The helper uses test_and_set_bit()/test_and_clear_bit() to track
whether the state actually changed, so start_stop_khugepaged() is
only called when needed. When the mode is unchanged,
set_recommended_min_free_kbytes() is called directly to preserve
the watermark recalculation behavior of the original code.
