Subject: [PATCH v5 01/17] mm/zsmalloc: replace PG_private with pointer comparison
Date: Sun, 20 Sep 2026 22:27:57 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260920-remove-pg_private-v5-1-bb68b6a21869@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260920-remove-pg_private-v5-0-bb68b6a21869@nvidia.com>
zsmalloc uses PG_private to indicate first zpdesc in a zspage chain. It is
equivalent to check zpdesc == zspage->first_zpdesc. Replace
is_first_zpdesc() with zpdesc == zspage->first_zpdesc in obj_allocated().
For get_first_zpdesc(), first_zpdesc is from zspage->first_zpdesc, so
replace is_first_zpdesc() with first_zpdesc->zspage == zspage, the second
requirement of a zspage chain, where all zpdescs point to the same zspage.
is_first_zpdesc(), is only used in VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(), so performance impact
should be negligible. While at it, change VM_BUG_ON() to
VM_WARN_ON_ONCE_PAGE().
It prepares for a future commit that remove PG_private.
No functional change intended.
