It prepares for upcoming changes to support split huge page to any lower
order.

Except for a minor fix below, you can add:

Shouldn't this be 0, not 1?
(new_order not new_nr).

Yes, I forgot to fix the call site after I change the function signature. Thanks.

With the addition of the new argument it's a bit hard to understand
what the function is supposed to do. It seems like nr == page_order(page),
is it right? Maybe we can pass old_order and new_order? Or just the page
and the new order?

I believe there cannot be any leftovers because nr is always a power of 2.
Is it true? Converting nr argument to order (if it's possible) will make it obvious.

Other than that the patch looks good to me.

Thanks!

Yeah, it is a bit confusing. Please see more below.

Right. nr = thp_nr_pages(head), which is a power of 2. There would not 
be any
leftover.

Matthew recently converted split_page_owner to take nr instead of 
order.[1] But I am not
sure why, since it seems to me that two call sites (__split_huge_page in
mm/huge_memory.c and split_page in mm/page_alloc.c) can pass the order 
information.

Yeah, I'm not sure why too. Maybe Matthew has some input here?
You can also pass new_nr, but IMO orders look so much better here.

Thanks!

Hm. Where do you correct __split_page_owner() declaration. I don't see it.

If only I'd written that information in the changelog ... oh wait, I did!

    mm/page_owner: change split_page_owner to take a count
    
    The implementation of split_page_owner() prefers a count rather than the
    old order of the page.  When we support a variable size THP, we won't
    have the order at this point, but we will have the number of pages.
    So change the interface to what the caller and callee would prefer.

This doesn't do what you're hoping it will.  It's going to set ->order to
new_order for the first N pages instead of every 1/N pages.

You'll need to do something like

		page_ext = lookup_page_ext(page + i);

or add a new page_ext_add(page_ext, 1 << new_order);

There are two callers, split_page in mm/page_alloc.c and __split_huge_page in
mm/huge_memory.c. The former has the page order. The latter has the page order
information before __split_huge_page_tail is called, so we can do
old_order = thp_order(head) instead of nr = thp_nr_page(head) and use old_order.
What am I missing there?

Thanks.

Sure, we could also do that.  But what I wrote was true at the time I
wrote it.

Got it. Thanks. Will change it to use old_order to make split_page_owner parameters
look more consistent.

Sure, I was asking about if you're ok with going back to orders or there are better
ideas. I'm sorry if it wasn't clear and sounded differently.

It just seems to me than a function is taking nr and order (as in Zi's last version),
I'd expect that it's a number of pages of given order, or something like this.
So I'd avoid mixing them. Orders are slightly better if nr is always a power of two,
it's just more obvious from looking at the code.

Thanks!

I think it's awkward no matter which way round we do it.

If we pass old_order, new_order then we create extra work for both caller
and callee.

If we pass old_nr, new_order, it looks weird for humans.

At the end of the day, I'm not that invested in which we do.
