Subject: [PATCH v2 3/6] mm: hugetlb: Move mpol interpretation out of dequeue_hugetlb_folio_vma()
Date: Wed, 06 May 2026 08:54:39 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260506-hugetlb-open-up-v2-3-826a0c5f28fc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260506-hugetlb-open-up-v2-0-826a0c5f28fc@google.com>

From: Ackerley Tng <ackerleytng@google.com>

Move memory policy interpretation out of dequeue_hugetlb_folio_vma() and
into alloc_hugetlb_folio() to separate reading and interpretation of memory
policy from actual allocation.

Also rename dequeue_hugetlb_folio_vma() to
dequeue_hugetlb_folio_with_mpol() to remove association with vma and to
align with alloc_buddy_hugetlb_folio_with_mpol().

This will later allow memory policy to be interpreted outside of the
process of allocating a hugetlb folio entirely. This opens doors for other
callers of the HugeTLB folio allocation function, such as guest_memfd,
where memory may not always be mapped and hence may not have an associated
vma.

No functional change intended.
