Since we introduce folio, replace isolate_lru_page() with folio_isolate_lru(). Signed-off-by: Kuan-Ying Lee <redacted> --- Documentation/mm/page_migration.rst | 6 +++--- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-)This seems like a good patch to copy to linux-mm - done now. The patch perhaps is a closer match to what's in linux-next, but it seems that, if we're going to update this document, we should reflect the use folios throughout?Most of the current users of migrate_pages() still use isolate_lru_page() so I think that updating page_migration.rst to folios is premature. But when we do the update it also should include the translations.It's a slim majority -- 9 of isolate_lru_pages() and 7 of folio_isolate_lru(). I don't think that changing the documentation is premature; we should document the functions we want people to use. I'd be surprised if isolate_lru_pages() still existed in six months.
That's a bit of a problem when documentation describes how things are done rather than how to do them, but I don't have a strong feeling about updating the docs while we are still in the transition period or postponing it until e.g. isolate_lru_page() is gone. But in any case, this should be much more comprehensive update rather than replacing two occurrences out of three in a single file. -- Sincerely yours, Mike. _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
