Subject: [PATCH v4 1/6] mm: hugetlb: Consolidate interpretation of gbl_chg within alloc_hugetlb_folio()
Date: Thu, 02 Jul 2026 09:21:45 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260702-hugetlb-open-up-v4-1-d53cefcccf34@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260702-hugetlb-open-up-v4-0-d53cefcccf34@google.com>

From: Ackerley Tng <ackerleytng@google.com>

The dequeue_hugetlb_folio_vma() function currently handles the gbl_chg
parameter to determine if a folio can be dequeued based on global page
availability. This leaks reservation-specific logic into the dequeueing
path.

Relocate this logic to alloc_hugetlb_folio() so that
dequeue_hugetlb_folio_vma() focuses solely on selecting and dequeuing a
folio. In alloc_hugetlb_folio(), only attempt to dequeue a folio if a
reservation exists (gbl_chg == 0) or if there are available huge pages in
the global pool.

No functional change intended.
