[PATCHv2, RFC 13/30] thp, mm: implement grab_cache_huge_page_write_begin()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill.shutemov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The function is grab_cache_page_write_begin() twin but it tries to
allocate huge page at given position aligned to HPAGE_CACHE_NR.

If, for some reason, it's not possible allocate a huge page at this
possition, it returns NULL. Caller should take care of fallback to
small pages.
