[PATCH RFC v7 1/8] mm/filemap: Add mempolicy support to the filemap layer

Tue Apr 8 11:23:55 UTC 2025


From: Shivansh Dhiman <shivansh.dhiman at amd.com>

Add NUMA mempolicy support to the filemap allocation path by introducing
new APIs that take a mempolicy argument:
- filemap_grab_folio_mpol()
- filemap_alloc_folio_mpol()
- __filemap_get_folio_mpol()

These APIs allow callers to specify a NUMA policy during page cache
allocations, enabling fine-grained control over memory placement. This is
particularly needed by KVM when using guest-memfd memory backends, where
the guest memory needs to be allocated according to the NUMA policy
specified by VMM.

The existing non-mempolicy APIs remain unchanged and continue to use the
default allocation behavior.
