mm: constify more page/folio tests

2024-03-06T21:04:18+00:00

Constify the flag tests that aren't automatically generated and the tests
that look like flag tests but are more complicated.

mm: constify testing page/folio flags

2024-03-06T21:04:18+00:00

Now that dump_page() takes a const argument, we can constify all the page
flag tests.

mm: remove PageYoung and PageIdle definitions

2024-03-06T21:04:17+00:00

All callers have been converted to use folios, so remove the various
set/clear/test functions defined on pages.

All callers have been converted to use folios.  This was the only user of
PF_ONLY_HEAD, so remove that too.

mm: separate out FOLIO_FLAGS from PAGEFLAGS

2024-03-06T21:04:17+00:00

Patch series "PageFlags cleanups".

We have now successfully removed all of the uses of some of the PageFlags
from the kernel, but there's nothing to stop somebody reintroducing them. 
By splitting out FOLIO_FLAGS from PAGEFLAGS, we can stop defining the old
flags; and we do that in some of the later patches.

After doing this, I realised that dump_page() was living dangerously; we
could end up calling folio_test_foo() on a pointer which no longer pointed
to a folio (as dump_page() is not necessarily called when the caller has a
reference to the page).  So I fixed that up.

And then I realised that this was the key to making dump_page() take a
const argument, which means we can constify the page flags testing, which
means we can remove more cast-away-the-const bad code.

And here's where I ended up.


This patch (of 8):

We've progressed far enough with the folio transition that some flags are
now no longer checked on pages, but only on folios.  To prevent new users
appearing, prepare to only define the folio versions of the flag
test/set/clear.

mm: return void from folio_start_writeback() and related functions

2023-12-11T00:51:37+00:00

Nobody now checks the return value from any of these functions, so
add an assertion at the beginning of the function and return void.

mm: remove test_set_page_writeback()

2023-12-11T00:51:36+00:00

Patch series "Make folio_start_writeback return void".

Most of the folio flag-setting functions return void. 
folio_start_writeback is gratuitously different; the only two filesystems
that do anything with the return value emit debug messages if it's already
set, and we can (and should) do that internally without bothering the
filesystem to do it.


This patch (of 4):

There are no more callers of this wrapper.

mm: add folio_xor_flags_has_waiters()

2023-10-18T21:34:17+00:00

Optimise folio_end_read() by setting the uptodate bit at the same time we
clear the unlock bit.  This saves at least one memory barrier and one
write-after-write hazard.

mm: remove folio_test_transhuge()

2023-08-21T21:28:45+00:00

This function is misleading; people think it means "Is this a THP", when
all it actually does is check whether this is a large folio.  Remove it;
the one remaining user should have been checking to see whether the folio
is PMD sized or not.

Store the folio order in the low byte of the flags word in the first tail
