This is only useful under CONFIG_NUMA. IIUC skipping the check is the
right thing to do here, as without CONFIG_NUMA there will never be any
large node distances on non-NUMA systems.
I expected this to manifest as a link failure under (!CONFIG_NUMA &&
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGE_PAGES), but I'm not actually seeing that. I
think the reference is just getting pruned before it's checked, but I
didn't get that from reading the code so I'm worried I'm missing
something.
Either way, this is necessary to guard the definition of
node_reclaim_distance with CONFIG_NUMA.

This makes the entire loop a no-op. Perhaps Kirill can help take a
look at removing unnecessary code in khugepaged.c when CONFIG_NUMA=n?

First lines of khugepaged_scan_abort() say
if (!node_reclaim_mode)
return false;
And include/linux/swap.h says
#ifdef CONFIG_NUMA
extern int node_reclaim_mode;
extern int sysctl_min_unmapped_ratio;
extern int sysctl_min_slab_ratio;
#else
#define node_reclaim_mode 0
#endif
So, no need for an #ifdef CONFIG_NUMA inside khugepaged_scan_abort().

Ah, thanks, I hadn't seen that. That certainly explains the lack of an
undefined reference.
That said: do we generally rely on DCE to prune references to undefined
symbols? This particular one seems like it'd get reliably deleted, but it
seems like a fragile thing to do in general. This kind of stuff would
certainly make some code easier to write, though.
I don't really care all that much, though, as I was just sending this along due
to some build failure report from a user that I couldn't reproduce. It looked
like they had some out-of-tree stuff, so in this case I'm fine on fixing this
being their problem.

Yes, the kernel build very much depends on the optimizer eliminating
dead code, in many many places. We do prefer to keep the #ifdefs to
the header files as much as possible.

I didn't see your 2/2 at the time; but wouldn't be surprised if that
needs 1/2, to avoid an error on undeclared node_reclaim_distance before
the optimizer comes into play. If so, best just to drop 2/2 too.

OK, makes sense. Thanks!

Ya, definitely. Sorry for the noise!
