Subject: [PATCH v5 2/3] mm: hugetlb: Move mpol interpretation out of alloc_buddy_hugetlb_folio_with_mpol()
Date: Mon, 03 Aug 2026 06:37:59 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260803-hugetlb-mpol-interpretation-v5-2-af2b7089f8a9@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260803-hugetlb-mpol-interpretation-v5-0-af2b7089f8a9@google.com>

From: Ackerley Tng <ackerleytng@google.com>

Move memory policy interpretation out of
alloc_buddy_hugetlb_folio_with_mpol() and into alloc_hugetlb_folio() to
separate reading and interpretation of memory policy from actual
allocation.

This will later allow memory policy to be interpreted outside of the
process of allocating a hugetlb folio entirely. This opens doors for other
callers of the HugeTLB folio allocation function, such as guest_memfd,
where memory may not always be mapped and hence may not have an associated
vma.

Introduce struct mempolicy_interpreted to hold all the components of an
interpreted memory policy.

Rename alloc_buddy_hugetlb_folio_with_mpol() to alloc_buddy_hugetlb_folio()
since the function no longer interprets memory policy.

No functional change intended.
