The cleanups are intended to reduce the verbosity in lru list
operations and make them less error-prone. A typical example
would be how the patches change __activate_page():
static void __activate_page(struct page *page, struct lruvec *lruvec)
{
if (!PageActive(page) && !PageUnevictable(page)) {
- int lru = page_lru_base_type(page);
int nr_pages = thp_nr_pages(page);
- del_page_from_lru_list(page, lruvec, lru);
+ del_page_from_lru_list(page, lruvec);
SetPageActive(page);
- lru += LRU_ACTIVE;
- add_page_to_lru_list(page, lruvec, lru);
+ add_page_to_lru_list(page, lruvec);
trace_mm_lru_activate(page);
There are a few more places like __activate_page() and they are
unnecessarily repetitive in terms of figuring out which list a page
should be added onto or deleted from. And with the duplicated code
removed, they are easier to read, IMO.
Patch 1 to 5 basically cover the above. Patch 6 and 7 make code more
robust by improving bug reporting. Patch 8, 9 and 10 take care of
some dangling helpers left in header files. Patch 11 isn't strictly a
clean-up patch, but it seems still relevant to include it here.
Yu Zhao (11):
mm: use add_page_to_lru_list()
mm: shuffle lru list addition and deletion functions
mm: don't pass "enum lru_list" to lru list addition functions
mm: don't pass "enum lru_list" to trace_mm_lru_insertion()
mm: don't pass "enum lru_list" to del_page_from_lru_list()
mm: add __clear_page_lru_flags() to replace page_off_lru()
mm: VM_BUG_ON lru page flags
mm: fold page_lru_base_type() into its sole caller
mm: fold __update_lru_size() into its sole caller
mm: make lruvec_lru_size() static
mm: enlarge the "int nr_pages" parameter of update_lru_size()
