Subject: [PATCH mm-new v3 1/3] mm/khugepaged: optimize PTE scanning with if-else-if-else-if chain
Date: Wed, 8 Oct 2025 12:37:46 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251008043748.45554-2-lance.yang@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251008043748.45554-1-lance.yang@linux.dev>
From: Lance Yang <lance.yang@linux.dev>
As pointed out by Dev, the PTE checks for disjoint conditions in the
scanning loops can be optimized. is_swap_pte, (pte_none && is_zero_pfn),
and pte_uffd_wp are mutually exclusive.
This patch refactors the loops in both __collapse_huge_page_isolate() and
hpage_collapse_scan_pmd() to use a continuous if-else-if-else-if chain
instead of separate if blocks. While at it, the redundant pte_present()
check before is_zero_pfn() is also removed.
Also, this is a preparatory step to make it easier to merge the
almost-duplicated scanning logic in these two functions, as suggested
by David.
