mm: hugetlb_vmemmap: improve hugetlb_vmemmap code readability

2022-08-09T01:06:43+00:00

There is a discussion about the name of hugetlb_vmemmap_alloc/free in
thread [1].  The suggestion suggested by David is rename "alloc/free" to
"optimize/restore" to make functionalities clearer to users, "optimize"
means the function will optimize vmemmap pages, while "restore" means
restoring its vmemmap pages discared before.  This commit does this.

Another discussion is the confusion RESERVE_VMEMMAP_NR isn't used
explicitly for vmemmap_addr but implicitly for vmemmap_end in
hugetlb_vmemmap_alloc/free.  David suggested we can compute what
hugetlb_vmemmap_init() does now at runtime.  We do not need to worry for
the overhead of computing at runtime since the calculation is simple
enough and those functions are not in a hot path.  This commit has the
following improvements:

  1) The function suffixed name ("optimize/restore") is more expressive.
  2) The logic becomes less weird in hugetlb_vmemmap_optimize/restore().
  3) The hugetlb_vmemmap_init() does not need to be exported anymore.
  4) A ->optimize_vmemmap_pages field in struct hstate is killed.
  5) There is only one place where checks is_power_of_2(sizeof(struct
     page)) instead of two places.
  6) Add more comments for hugetlb_vmemmap_optimize/restore().
  7) For external users, hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap_pages() is used for
     detecting if the HugeTLB's vmemmap pages is optimizable originally.
     In this commit, it is killed and we introduce a new helper
     hugetlb_vmemmap_optimizable() to replace it.  The name is more
     expressive.

sysctl: add and use base directory declarer and registration helper

2022-01-22T06:33:36+00:00

Patch series "sysctl: add and use base directory declarer and
registration helper".

In this patch series we start addressing base directories, and so we
start with the "fs" sysctls.  The end goal is we end up completely
moving all "fs" sysctl knobs out from kernel/sysctl.

This patch (of 6):

Add a set of helpers which can be used to declare and register base
directory sysctls on their own.  We do this so we can later move each of
the base sysctl directories like "fs", "kernel", etc, to their own
respective files instead of shoving the declarations and registrations
all on kernel/sysctl.c.  The lazy approach has caught up and with this,
we just end up extending the list of base directories / sysctls on one
file and this makes maintenance difficult due to merge conflicts from
many developers.

The declarations are used first by kernel/sysctl.c for registration its
own base which over time we'll try to clean up.  It will be used in the
next patch to demonstrate how to cleanly deal with base sysctl
directories.

fs: move pipe sysctls to is own file

2022-01-22T06:33:36+00:00

kernel/sysctl.c is a kitchen sink where everyone leaves their dirty
dishes, this makes it very difficult to maintain.

To help with this maintenance let's start by moving sysctls to places
where they actually belong.  The proc sysctl maintainers do not want to
know what sysctl knobs you wish to add for your own piece of code, we
just care about the core logic.

So move the pipe sysctls to its own file.

sysctl: add helper to register a sysctl mount point
