Subject: [RFC PATCH 37/40] mm: page_alloc: move spb_get_category and spb_tainted_reserve to mmzone.h
Date: Wed, 20 May 2026 10:59:43 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260520150018.2491267-38-riel@surriel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260520150018.2491267-1-riel@surriel.com>
Pure move with no semantic change. Both helpers will be needed in
mm/compaction.c by upcoming SPB-skip predicates; keep a single source
of truth for them in <linux/mmzone.h> alongside pfn_to_superpageblock().
Signed-off-by: Rik van Riel <riel@surriel.com>
