[PATCH v4 09/16] WIP: mm: hugetlb: Move subpool functions to hugetlb_subpool.c

Newsgroups org.kernel.vger.cgroups,org.kernel.feeds.b4-sent,org.kernel.vger.linux-doc,org.kernel.vger.linux-kernel,org.kvack.linux-mm
Message-ID <20260722-hugetlb-alloc-failure-fixes-v4-9-88e8b81970dc@google.com>
From: Ackerley Tng <[email protected]>

Move all HugeTLB subpool lifecycle, page reservation, and accounting
routines out of mm/hugetlb.c and into their own dedicated, encapsulated
translation unit at mm/hugetlb_subpool.c.

Also introduces the internal mm/hugetlb_subpool.h header for holding the
subpool-local APIs, allowing fs/hugetlbfs and mm/ to access the subpool
functions cleanly.  The subpool internal layout structures remain in
include/linux/hugetlb.h until getters are introduced.
