This is a helper macro to loop through all the usable page sizes for a
high-granularity-enabled HugeTLB VMA. Given the VMA's hstate, it will
loop, in descending order, through the page sizes that HugeTLB supports
for this architecture; it always includes PAGE_SIZE.

I missing something here?

So is this intending to do:

if (h == hstates[hugetlb_max_hstate]
    return PAGE_SHIFT;

? If so, could we write it as so?

I'm also wondering why __shift_for_hstate(hstate[hugetlb_max_hstate])
== PAGE_SHIFT? Isn't the last hstate the smallest hstate which should
be 2MB on x86? Shouldn't this return PMD_SHIFT in that case?

I too am missing how this is working for similar reasons.

Yeah, it goes out of bounds intentionally. Maybe I should have called
this out. We need for_each_hgm_shift to include PAGE_SHIFT, and there
is no hstate for it. So to handle it, we iterate past the end of the
hstate array, and when we are past the end, we return PAGE_SHIFT and
stop iterating further. This is admittedly kind of gross; if you have
other suggestions for a way to get a clean `for_each_hgm_shift` macro
like this, I'm all ears. :)

Yeah, this works. I'll write it this way instead. If that condition is
true, `h` is out of bounds (`hugetlb_max_hstate` is past the end, not
the index for the final element). I guess `hugetlb_max_hstate` is a
bit of a misnomer.

`huge_page_shift(hstate[hugetlb_max_hstate-1])` is PMD_SHIFT on x86.
Actually reading `hstate[hugetlb_max_hstate]` would be bad, which is
why `__shift_for_hstate` exists: to return PAGE_SIZE when we would
otherwise attempt to compute
`huge_page_shift(hstate[hugetlb_max_hstate])`.

Note the <= here. If we wanted to always remain inbounds here, we'd
want < instead. But we don't have an hstate for PAGE_SIZE.

I see, thanks for the explanation. I can see 2 options here to make
the code more understandable:

option (a), don't go past the array. I.e. for_each_hgm_shift() will
loop over all the hugetlb-supported shifts on this arch, and the
calling code falls back to PAGE_SHIFT if the hugetlb page shifts don't
work for it. I admit that could lead to code dup in the calling code,
but I have not gotten to the patch that calls this yet.

option (b), simply add a comment and/or make it more obvious that
you're intentionally going out of bounds, and you want to loop over
PAGE_SHIFT at the end. Something like:

+ /* Returns huge_page_shift(h) if h is a pointer to an hstate in
hstates[] array, PAGE_SIZE otherwise. */
+static unsigned int __shift_for_hstate(struct hstate *h)
+{
+       if (h < &hstates[0] || h > &hstates[hugetlb_max_hstate - 1])
+               return PAGE_SHIFT;
+       return huge_page_shift(h);
+}
+
+ /* Loops over all the HGM shifts supported on this arch, from the
largest shift possible down to PAGE_SHIFT inclusive. */
+#define for_each_hgm_shift(hstate, tmp_h, shift) \
+       for ((tmp_h) = hstate; (shift) = __shift_for_hstate(tmp_h), \
+                              (tmp_h) <= &hstates[hugetlb_max_hstate]; \
+                              (tmp_h)++)
 #endif /* CONFIG_HUGETLB_HIGH_GRANULARITY_MAPPING */
