Subject: [v4 PATCH 7/7] doc: proc: fix the description to THPeligible
Date: Wed, 15 Jun 2022 10:29:26 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220615172926.546974-8-shy828301@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220615172926.546974-1-shy828301@gmail.com>
The THPeligible bit shows 1 if and only if the VMA is eligible for
allocating THP and the THP is also PMD mappable. Some misaligned file
VMAs may be eligible for allocating THP but the THP can't be mapped by
PMD. Make this more explictly to avoid ambiguity.
