Subject: [RFC Patch 11/11] mm/huge_memory: simplify split_huge_page() by calling __folio_split() directly
Date: Mon, 8 Dec 2025 14:36:16 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251208143616.20797-12-richard.weiyang@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251208143616.20797-1-richard.weiyang@gmail.com>
The current function call chain for splitting huge pages is overly
verbose:
split_huge_page() -> split_huge_page_to_list_to_order() ->
__split_huge_page_to_list_to_order() -> __folio_split()
Since __split_huge_page_to_list_to_order() is merely a wrapper for
__folio_split(), and it is only used by
split_huge_page_to_list_to_order() (which is, in turn, only used by
split_huge_page()), the intermediate functions are redundant.
This commit refactors split_huge_page() to call __folio_split()
directly. This removes the unnecessary middle layers
(split_huge_page_to_list_to_order() and
__split_huge_page_to_list_to_order()), simplifying the splitting
interface.
