[PATCH 1/4] mm/thp: move lru_add_page_tail func to huge_memory.c

[PATCH 1/4] mm/thp: move lru_add_page_tail func to huge_memory.c

[Alex Shi]

The func is only used in huge_memory.c, defining it in other file with a
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE macro restrict just looks weird.

Let's move it THP. And make it static as Hugh Dickin suggested.

[PATCH 2/4] mm/thp: clean up lru_add_page_tail

[Alex Shi]

Since the first parameter is only used by head page, it's better to make
it explicit.

[PATCH 3/4] mm/thp: remove code path which never got into

[Alex Shi]

split_huge_page() will never call on a page which isn't on lru list, so
this code never got a chance to run, and should not be run, to add tail
pages on a lru list which head page isn't there.

Although the bug was never triggered, it'better be removed for code
correctness.

BTW, it looks better to have a WARN() set in the wrong path, but the
path will be changed in incoming new page isolation func. So just save
it now.

[PATCH 4/4] mm/thp: narrow lru locking

[Alex Shi]

lru_lock and page cache xa_lock have no reason with current sequence,
put them together isn't necessary. let's narrow the lru locking, but
left the local_irq_disable to block interrupt re-entry and statistic update.

Hugh Dickins point: split_huge_page_to_list() was already silly,to be
using the _irqsave variant: it's just been taking sleeping locks, so
would already be broken if entered with interrupts enabled.
so we can save passing flags argument down to __split_huge_page().

Re: [PATCH 4/4] mm/thp: narrow lru locking

[Matthew Wilcox]

You're playing games with separating interrupt disabling from spinlocks.
Have you got any feedback from -rt people on this?
