[PATCH v3 2/2] mm/mm_init: simplify ZONE_MOVABLE branch in zone_spanned_pages_in_node()
From: Sang-Heon Jeon
Date: Fri Aug 14 2026 - 09:39:23 EST
*zone_start_pfn and *zone_end_pfn are first assigned
clamp(node_start_pfn, zone_low, zone_high) and clamp(node_end_pfn,
zone_low, zone_high).
If movable_pfn != 0, the branches adjust them as follows.
1. If zone_type == ZONE_MOVABLE, *zone_start_pfn = movable_pfn, which
can be outside the node, and *zone_end_pfn =
min(node_end_pfn, ...), which is at most node_end_pfn.
2. Else If *zone_start_pfn < movable_pfn < *zone_end_pfn,
*zone_end_pfn = movable_pfn.
3. Else If *zone_start_pfn >= movable_pfn, *zone_start_pfn =
*zone_end_pfn.
4. Else *zone_start_pfn < movable_pfn && *zone_end_pfn <= movable_pfn,
and nothing is assigned.
If node_end_pfn < zone_low or node_start_pfn > zone_high,
*zone_start_pfn and *zone_end_pfn are both zone_low or both
zone_high, outside the node.
Then case 2 cannot apply, in case 3 *zone_start_pfn = *zone_end_pfn,
which is that same pfn, and in case 4 nothing is assigned. So the
check against node_start_pfn and node_end_pfn returns 0 early.
Otherwise node_start_pfn <= *zone_start_pfn <= *zone_end_pfn <=
node_end_pfn.
Then in case 2 *zone_end_pfn = movable_pfn, in case 3
*zone_start_pfn = *zone_end_pfn, and in case 4 nothing is assigned.
So *zone_start_pfn and *zone_end_pfn stay within the node, the check
does not return 0, and min(*zone_end_pfn, node_end_pfn) and
max(*zone_start_pfn, node_start_pfn) change nothing.
So the check, min(*zone_end_pfn, node_end_pfn), and
max(*zone_start_pfn, node_start_pfn) only have an effect in case 1.
Also, cases 2 and 4 both have *zone_start_pfn < movable_pfn, and
min(*zone_end_pfn, movable_pfn) is movable_pfn in case 2 and
*zone_end_pfn in case 4. So the two cases can be merged into one
branch and case 3 becomes its else.
So remove *zone_end_pfn = min(*zone_end_pfn, node_end_pfn), move the
check and *zone_start_pfn = max(*zone_start_pfn, node_start_pfn)
inside the ZONE_MOVABLE branch, and merge cases 2 and 4 with
*zone_end_pfn = min(*zone_end_pfn, movable_pfn).
No functional change.
