From 340ef3902cf20cec43cdcd1e72ae5cb518be7328 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hugh Dickins Date: Fri, 22 Feb 2013 16:34:33 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] mm: numa: cleanup flow of transhuge page migration When correcting commit 04fa5d6a6547 ("mm: migrate: check page_count of THP before migrating") Hugh Dickins noted that the control flow for transhuge migration was difficult to follow. Unconditionally calling put_page() in numamigrate_isolate_page() made the failure paths of both migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() and migrate_misplaced_page() more complex that they should be. Further, he was extremely wary that an unlock_page() should ever happen after a put_page() even if the put_page() should never be the final put_page. Hugh implemented the following cleanup to simplify the path by calling putback_lru_page() inside numamigrate_isolate_page() if it failed to isolate and always calling unlock_page() within migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page(). There is no functional change after this patch is applied but the code is easier to follow and unlock_page() always happens before put_page().
