Good point. Originally, it paralleled insert_pfn() in mm/memory.c, but it became apparent that the return code of 0 or -Exxx was useless, and in converting insert_pfn_pmd over to VM_FAULT_ codes, all possible return codes were going to be VM_FAULT_NOPAGE. It didn't occur to me to take it one step further and make the function return void. It doesn't make much difference either way: diff --git a/mm/huge_memory.c b/mm/huge_memory.c index 26d0fc1..5ffdcaa 100644 --- a/mm/huge_memory.c +++ b/mm/huge_memory.c @@ -837,7 +837,7 @@ int do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page(struct mm_struct *mm, struct vm_area_struct *vma, return 0; } -static int insert_pfn_pmd(struct vm_area_struct *vma, unsigned long addr, +static void insert_pfn_pmd(struct vm_area_struct *vma, unsigned long addr, pmd_t *pmd, unsigned long pfn, pgprot_t prot, bool write) { struct mm_struct *mm = vma->vm_mm; @@ -855,7 +855,6 @@ static int insert_pfn_pmd(struct vm_area_struct *vma, unsigned long addr, update_mmu_cache_pmd(vma, addr, pmd); } spin_unlock(ptl); - return VM_FAULT_NOPAGE; } int vmf_insert_pfn_pmd(struct vm_area_struct *vma, unsigned long addr, @@ -877,7 +876,8 @@ int vmf_insert_pfn_pmd(struct vm_area_struct *vma, unsigned long addr, return VM_FAULT_SIGBUS; if (track_pfn_insert(vma, &pgprot, pfn)) return VM_FAULT_SIGBUS; - return insert_pfn_pmd(vma, addr, pmd, pfn, pgprot, write); + insert_pfn_pmd(vma, addr, pmd, pfn, pgprot, write); + return VM_FAULT_NOPAGE; } int copy_huge_pmd(struct mm_struct *dst_mm, struct mm_struct *src_mm, I suppose it's slightly cleaner.
