Subject: [PATCH v3 2/6] mm: hugetlb: Move mpol interpretation out of alloc_buddy_hugetlb_folio_with_mpol()
Date: Mon, 18 May 2026 17:19:41 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260518-hugetlb-open-up-v3-2-e14b302477f8@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260518-hugetlb-open-up-v3-0-e14b302477f8@google.com>
From: Ackerley Tng <ackerleytng@google.com>
Move memory policy interpretation out of
alloc_buddy_hugetlb_folio_with_mpol() and into alloc_hugetlb_folio() to
separate reading and interpretation of memory policy from actual
allocation.
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.
Introduce struct mempolicy_interpreted to hold all the components of an
interpreted memory policy.
Rename alloc_buddy_hugetlb_folio_with_mpol() to alloc_buddy_hugetlb_folio()
since the function no longer interprets memory policy.
No functional change intended.
