Subject: [PATCH 1/2] mm/filemap: refactor __filemap_add_folio to separate critical section
This patch refactors __filemap_add_folio() to extract its core
critical section logic into a new helper function,
__filemap_add_folio_xa_locked(). The refactoring maintains the
existing functionality while enabling finer control over locking
granularity for callers.
Key changes:
- Move the xarray insertion logic from __filemap_add_folio() into
__filemap_add_folio_xa_locked()
- Modify __filemap_add_folio() to accept a pre-initialized xa_state
and a 'xa_locked' parameter
- Update the function signature in the header file accordingly
- Adjust existing callers (filemap_add_folio() and
hugetlb_add_to_page_cache()) to use the new interface
The refactoring is functionally equivalent to the previous code:
- When 'xa_locked' is false, __filemap_add_folio() acquires the xarray
lock internally (existing behavior)
- When 'xa_locked' is true, the caller is responsible for holding the
xarray lock, and __filemap_add_folio() only executes the critical
section
This separation prepares for the subsequent patch that introduces
batch folio insertion, where multiple folios can be added to the
page cache within a single lock hold.
No performance changes are expected from this patch alone, as it
only reorganizes code without altering the execution flow.
