[PATCH 1/2] mm/ksm: extract helper functions for scan cycle cleanup

From: Xu Xin (vivo)

Date: Thu Nov 12 2026 - 08:11:17 EST


Since scan_get_next_rmap_item() is getting too large, extract two new
helper functions, ksm_prune_migrate_nodes() and ksm_reset_unstable_trees(),
to reduce indentation levels, isolate local variables, and improve the
readability of the main scan loop.

No functional change intended.
