Subject: [PATCH 2/2] mm/ksm: add initialization helpers for scan_get_next_rmap_item()
Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2026 20:59:59 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261112125959.177881-1-xu.xin@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261112125754.176930-1-xu.xin@linux.dev>
Extract the new scan cycle detection (including draining per-CPU LRU
caches) and advancing the scan cursor to the first mm_slot into
scan_begin_new_cycle() and scan_get_first_mm().
This keeps the exact execution order intact while making
scan_get_next_rmap_item() cleaner and easier to follow.
No functional change intended.
