Subject: [RFC PATCH 36/45] mm: page_alloc: add alloc_flags parameter to __rmqueue_smallest
Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2026 16:21:05 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260430202233.111010-37-riel@surriel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260430202233.111010-1-riel@surriel.com>
From: Rik van Riel <riel@meta.com>
Plumb alloc_flags through __rmqueue_smallest so that subsequent
diagnostic tracepoints (and any future logic that needs to react to
allocation flags) can observe and use it. No behavioural change: the
parameter is added to the signature and threaded through every caller,
but nothing inside __rmqueue_smallest acts on it yet.
Callers passing 0 for alloc_flags are paths that synthesise an
allocation outside of the normal alloc_flags-tracking flow
(__rmqueue_cma_fallback, the fallback in try_to_claim_block).
