Subject: [PATCH v6 1/2] debugobjects: Add a can_fill_pool() helper for debug_objects_fill_pool()
Date: Sun,  7 Jun 2026 22:22:21 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260608022222.723265-2-longman@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260608022222.723265-1-longman@redhat.com>

The conditional check in debug_objects_fill_pool() for determining
if fill_pool() can be called is now quite complicated. Add a new
can_fill_pool() helper to break down the conditions individually to
make them easier to understand. No functional change is expected.
