mm/swap.c: introduce put_[un]refcounted_compound_page helpers for splitting put_compound_page()
Currently, put_compound_page() carefully handles tricky cases to avoid racing with compound page releasing or splitting, which makes it quite lenthy (about 200+ lines) and needs deep tab indention, which makes it quite hard to follow and maintain. This patch and the next patch refactor this function. Based on the code skeleton of put_compound_page: put_compound_pge: if !PageTail(page) put head page fastpath; return; /* else PageTail */ page_head = compound_head(page) if !__compound_tail_refcounted(page_head) put head page optimal path; <---(1) return; else put head page slowpath; <--- (2) return; This patch introduces two helpers, put_[un]refcounted_compound_page, handling the code path (1) and code path (2), respectively. They both are tagged __always_inline, thus elmiating function call overhead, making them operating the same way as before. They are almost copied verbatim(except one place, a "goto out_put_single" is expanded), with some comments rephrasing. Signed-off-by: Jianyu Zhan <nasa4836@gmail.com> Cc: Kirill A.
