mm, hugetlb: further simplify hugetlb allocation API
Hugetlb allocator has several layer of allocation functions depending and the purpose of the allocation. There are two allocators depending on whether the page can be allocated from the page allocator or we need a contiguous allocator. This is currently opencoded in alloc_fresh_huge_page which is the only path that might allocate giga pages which require the later allocator. Create alloc_fresh_huge_page which hides this implementation detail and use it in all callers which hardcoded the buddy allocator path (__hugetlb_alloc_buddy_huge_page). This shouldn't introduce any funtional change because both migration and surplus allocators exlude giga pages explicitly. While we are at it let's do some renaming. The current scheme is not consistent and overly painfull to read and understand. Get rid of prefix underscores from most functions. There is no real reason to make names longer. * alloc_fresh_huge_page is the new layer to abstract underlying allocator * __hugetlb_alloc_buddy_huge_page becomes shorter and neater alloc_buddy_huge_page. * Former alloc_fresh_huge_page becomes alloc_pool_huge_page because we put the new page directly to the pool * alloc_surplus_huge_page can drop the opencoded prep_new_huge_page code as it uses alloc_fresh_huge_page now * others lose their excessive prefix underscores to make names shorter [dan.carpenter@oracle.com: fix double unlock bug in alloc_surplus_huge_page()] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180109200559.g3iz5kvbdrz7yydp@mwanda Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180103093213.26329-6-mhocko@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Reviewed-by: Mike Kravetz <mike.kravetz@oracle.com> Reviewed-by: Naoya Horiguchi <n-horiguchi@ah.jp.nec.com> Cc: Andrea Reale <ar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Anshuman Khandual <khandual@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Kirill A.
