[RFC PATCH 5/5] mm, hugetlb: further simplify hugetlb allocation API

From: Michal Hocko
Date: Mon Dec 04 2017 - 09:02:24 EST


From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxx>

Hugetlb allocator has several layer of allocation functions depending
and the purpose of the allocation. There are two allocators depending
on whether the page can be allocated from the page allocator or we need
a contiguous allocator. This is currently opencoded in alloc_fresh_huge_page
which is the only path that might allocate giga pages which require the
later allocator. Create alloc_fresh_huge_page which hides this
implementation detail and use it in all callers which hardcoded the
buddy allocator path (__hugetlb_alloc_buddy_huge_page). This shouldn't
introduce any funtional change because both migration and surplus
allocators exlude giga pages explicitly.

While we are at it let's do some renaming. The current scheme is not
consistent and overly painfull to read and understand. Get rid of prefix
underscores from most functions. There is no real reason to make names
longer.
* alloc_fresh_huge_page is the new layer to abstract underlying
allocator
* __hugetlb_alloc_buddy_huge_page becomes shorter and neater
alloc_buddy_huge_page.
* Former alloc_fresh_huge_page becomes alloc_pool_huge_page because we put
the new page directly to the pool
* alloc_surplus_huge_page can drop the opencoded prep_new_huge_page code
as it uses alloc_fresh_huge_page now
* others lose their excessive prefix underscores to make names shorter
