Patch series "Simplify hugetlb vmemmap and improve its readability", v2.
This series aims to simplify hugetlb vmemmap and improve its readability.
This patch (of 8):
The name hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap_enabled() a bit confusing as it tests
two conditions (enabled and pages in use). Instead of coming up to an
appropriate name, we could just delete it. There is already a discussion
about deleting it in thread [1].
There is only one user of hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap_enabled() outside of
hugetlb_vmemmap, that is flush_dcache_page() in arch/arm64/mm/flush.c.
However, it does not need to call hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap_enabled() in
flush_dcache_page() since HugeTLB pages are always fully mapped and only
head page will be set PG_dcache_clean meaning only head page's flag may
need to be cleared (see commit cf5a501d98). So it is easy to remove
hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap_enabled().
