[RFC PATCH 1/3] mm: hugetlb: Simplify logic in dequeue_hugetlb_folio_vma()

From: Ackerley Tng
Date: Fri Oct 11 2024 - 19:23:12 EST


Replace arguments avoid_reserve and chg in dequeue_hugetlb_folio_vma()
so dequeue_hugetlb_folio_vma() is more understandable.

The new argument, use_hstate_resv, indicates whether the folio to be
dequeued should be taken from reservations in hstate.

If use_hstate_resv is true, the folio to be dequeued should be taken
from reservations in hstate and hence h->resv_huge_pages is
decremented, and the folio is marked so that the reservation is
restored.

If use_hstate_resv is false, then a folio needs to be taken from the
pool and hence there must exist available_huge_pages(h), failing
which, goto err.

The bool use_hstate_resv can be reused within
dequeue_hugetlb_folio_vma()'s caller, alloc_hugetlb_folio().

No functional changes are intended.

As proof, the original two if conditions

!vma_has_reserves(vma, chg) && !available_huge_pages(h)

and

avoid_reserve && !available_huge_pages(h)

can be combined into

(avoid_reserve || !vma_has_reserves(vma, chg))
&& !available_huge_pages(h).

Applying de Morgan's theorem on

avoid_reserve || !vma_has_reserves(vma, chg)

yields

!avoid_reserve && vma_has_reserves(vma, chg),

hence the simplification is correct.
