[PATCH v5 1/3] mm: Merge folio_has_private()/filemap_release_folio() call pairs

David Howells dhowells at redhat.com
Fri Dec 23 02:02:02 AEDT 2022


Make filemap_release_folio() check folio_has_private().  Then, in most
cases, where a call to folio_has_private() is immediately followed by a
call to filemap_release_folio(), we can get rid of the test in the pair.

The same is done to page_has_private()/try_to_release_page() call pairs.

There are a couple of sites in mm/vscan.c that this can't so easily be
done.  In shrink_folio_list(), there are actually three cases (something
different is done for incompletely invalidated buffers), but
filemap_release_folio() elides two of them.

In shrink_active_list(), we don't have have the folio lock yet, so the
check allows us to avoid locking the page unnecessarily.

A wrapper function to check if a folio needs release is provided for those
places that still need to do it in the mm/ directory.  This will acquire
additional parts to the condition in a future patch.

After this, the only remaining caller of folio_has_private() outside of mm/
is a check in fuse.

Changes:
========
ver #5)
 - Rebased on linus/master.  try_to_release_page() has now been entirely
   replaced by filemap_release_folio(), barring one comment.
 - Cleaned up some pairs in ext4.

ver #4)
 - Split from fscache fix.
 - Moved folio_needs_release() to mm/internal.h and removed open-coded
   version from filemap_release_folio().

ver #3)
 - Fixed mapping_clear_release_always() to use clear_bit() not set_bit().
 - Moved a '&&' to the correct line.

ver #2)
 - Rewrote entirely according to Willy's suggestion[1].
