mm/hugetlb: simplify vma_has_reserves()
vma_has_reserves() is a helper "trying" to know whether the vma should consume one reservation when allocating the hugetlb folio. However it's not clear on why we need such complexity, as such information is already represented in the "chg" variable. From alloc_hugetlb_folio() context, "chg" (or in the function's context, "gbl_chg") is defined as: - If gbl_chg=1, the allocation cannot reuse an existing reservation - If gbl_chg=0, the allocation should reuse an existing reservation Firstly, map_chg is defined as following, to cover all cases of hugetlb reservation scenarios (mostly, via vma_needs_reservation(), but cow_from_owner is an outlier): CONDITION HAS RESERVATION? ========= ================ - SHARED: always check against per-inode resv_map (ignore NONRESERVE) - If resv exists ==> YES [1] - If not ==> NO [2] - PRIVATE: complicated... - Request came from a CoW from owner resv map ==> NO [3] (when cow_from_owner==true) - If does not own a resv_map at all.. ==> NO [4] (examples: VM_NORESERVE, private fork()) - If owns a resv_map, but resv donsn't exists ==> NO [5] - If owns a resv_map, and resv exists ==> YES [6] Further on, gbl_chg considered spool setup, so that is a decision based on all the context. If we look at vma_has_reserves(), it almost does check that has already been processed by map_chg accounting (I marked each return value to the case above): static bool vma_has_reserves(struct vm_area_struct *vma, long chg) { if (vma->vm_flags & VM_NORESERVE) { if (vma->vm_flags & VM_MAYSHARE && chg == 0) return true; ==> [1] else return false; ==> [2] or [4] } if (vma->vm_flags & VM_MAYSHARE) { if (chg) return false; ==> [2] else return true; ==> [1] } if (is_vma_resv_set(vma, HPAGE_RESV_OWNER)) { if (chg) return false; ==> [5] else return true; ==> [6] } return false; ==> [4] } It didn't check [3], but [3] case was actually already covered now by the "chg" / "gbl_chg" / "map_chg" calculations. In short, vma_has_reserves() doesn't provide anything more than return "!chg".. so just simplify all the things. There're a lot of comments describing truncation races, IIUC there should have no race as long as map_chg is properly done.
