Subject: [PATCH 6.18.y] mm/huge_memory: merge uniform_split_supported() and non_uniform_split_supported()
Date: Mon, 29 Dec 2025 21:48:31 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251230024831.1972219-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2025122925-victory-numeral-2346@gregkh>
From: Wei Yang <richard.weiyang@gmail.com>
[ Upstream commit 8a0e4bdddd1c998b894d879a1d22f1e745606215 ]
uniform_split_supported() and non_uniform_split_supported() share
significantly similar logic.
The only functional difference is that uniform_split_supported() includes
an additional check on the requested @new_order.
The reason for this check comes from the following two aspects:
* some file system or swap cache just supports order-0 folio
* the behavioral difference between uniform/non-uniform split
The behavioral difference between uniform split and non-uniform:
* uniform split splits folio directly to @new_order
* non-uniform split creates after-split folios with orders from
folio_order(folio) - 1 to new_order.
This means for non-uniform split or !new_order split we should check the
file system and swap cache respectively.
This commit unifies the logic and merge the two functions into a single
combined helper, removing redundant code and simplifying the split
support checking mechanism.
