Subject: [PATCH v2 3/8] mm/khugepaged: factor out page cache folio reading
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2026 17:51:16 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261111175121.1328383-4-pfalcato@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261111175121.1328383-1-pfalcato@suse.de>
The two reading mechanisms (shmem, filemap) have similar purposes but
vary subtly. There is no need to have two variants.
Factor out the do_readahead toggling (for regular files) and
shmem_get_folio (for shmem) into its own separate function,
maybe_read_folio(), shared by both paths.
