From ecd8b2928f2efc7b678b361d51920c15b5ef3885 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Weiner Date: Fri, 19 May 2023 14:39:55 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] mm: compaction: remove compaction result helpers Patch series "mm: compaction: cleanups & simplifications". These compaction cleanups are split out from the huge page allocator series[1], as requested by reviewer feedback. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20230418191313.268131-1-hannes@cmpxchg.org/ This patch (of 5): The compaction result helpers encode quirks that are specific to the allocator's retry logic. E.g. COMPACT_SUCCESS and COMPACT_COMPLETE actually represent failures that should be retried upon, and so on. I frequently found myself pulling up the helper implementation in order to understand and work on the retry logic. They're not quite clean abstractions; rather they split the retry logic into two locations. Remove the helpers and inline the checks. Then comment on the result interpretations directly where the decision making happens.
