Subject: [PATCH v4 5/6] mm/mglru: use explicit tier range in read_ctrl_pos()
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 02:43:35 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260831-mglru-flags-cleanup-v4-5-2d15dde0d7ee@tencent.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260831-mglru-flags-cleanup-v4-0-2d15dde0d7ee@tencent.com>
From: Kairui Song <kasong@tencent.com>
read_ctrl_pos() encodes the tier range in a single "tier" parameter
via "tier % MAX_NR_TIERS" as the start and "min(tier, MAX_NR_TIERS-1)"
as the end. This is hard to follow, maintain, or extend. Tier values
0..3 select a single tier, while tier == MAX_NR_TIERS selects the
full range.
Replace it with explicit (tier_min, tier_max) parameters using a
closed [tier_min, tier_max] interval, and add LRU_TIER_MIN and
LRU_TIER_MAX for the tier bounds. The call sites now become
self-documenting:
- get_tier_idx: (LRU_TIER_MIN, LRU_TIER_MIN) for the first tier,
(tier, tier) for each subsequent tier
- get_type_to_scan: (LRU_TIER_MIN, LRU_TIER_MAX) for the full range
No functional change.
