I suspect I'm being massively pedantic here, but the comments for
atomic_pte_lookup() note:
* Only supports Intel large pages (2MB only) on x86_64.
* ZZZ - hugepage support is incomplete
That makes me wonder how many systems using this hardware are actually
configured with CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE.
I ask as in the most common case, this is likely introducing a few extra
instructions and possibly an additional branch to a routine that is called
per-fault.
So the nit-picky questions are:
1) Does the code really need to be cleaned up in this way?
2) If it does, does it make more sense (given the way pmd_large() is handled
now in atomic_pte_lookup()) for this to be coded as:
if (unlikely(is_vm_hugetlb_page(vma)))
*pageshift = HPAGE_SHIFT;
else
*pageshift = PAGE_SHIFT;
In all likelihood, these questions are no-ops, and the optimizer may even make
my questions completely moot, but I thought I might as well ask anyway.
