Patch series "mm: lru related cleanups", v2.
The cleanups are intended to reduce the verbosity in lru list operations
and make them less error-prone. A typical example would be how the
patches change __activate_page():
static void __activate_page(struct page *page, struct lruvec *lruvec)
{
if (!PageActive(page) && !PageUnevictable(page)) {
- int lru = page_lru_base_type(page);
int nr_pages = thp_nr_pages(page);
- del_page_from_lru_list(page, lruvec, lru);
+ del_page_from_lru_list(page, lruvec);
SetPageActive(page);
- lru += LRU_ACTIVE;
- add_page_to_lru_list(page, lruvec, lru);
+ add_page_to_lru_list(page, lruvec);
trace_mm_lru_activate(page);
There are a few more places like __activate_page() and they are
unnecessarily repetitive in terms of figuring out which list a page should
be added onto or deleted from. And with the duplicated code removed, they
are easier to read, IMO.
Patch 1 to 5 basically cover the above. Patch 6 and 7 make code more
robust by improving bug reporting. Patch 8, 9 and 10 take care of some
dangling helpers left in header files.
This patch (of 10):
There is add_page_to_lru_list(), and move_pages_to_lru() should reuse it,
not duplicate it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
