Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] __folio_split() clean up.
Date: Fri, 11 Jul 2025 14:23:53 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250711182355.3592618-1-ziy@nvidia.com> (raw)
Based on the prior discussion[1], this patch improves
__split_unmapped_folio() by making it reusable for splitting unmapped folios.
This helps avoid the need for a new boolean unmapped parameter to guard
mapping-related code.
An additional benefit is that __split_unmapped_folio() could be
called on after-split folios by __folio_split(). It can enable new split
methods. For example, at deferred split time, unmapped subpages can
scatter arbitrarily within a large folio, neither uniform nor non-uniform
split can maximize after-split folio orders for mapped subpages.
The hope is that by calling __split_unmapped_folio() multiple times,
a better split result can be achieved.
It passed mm selftests.
Changelog
===
From V1[2]:
1. Fixed indentations.
2. Used folio_expected_ref_count() to calculate ref_count instead of
open coding.
