Subject: [PATCH 16/16] mm/huge_memory: comment the subtle logic in __split_huge_pmd
Date: Thu, 23 Jun 2022 01:06:27 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220622170627.19786-17-linmiaohe@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220622170627.19786-1-linmiaohe@huawei.com>
It's dangerous and wrong to call page_folio(pmd_page(*pmd)) when pmd isn't
present. But the caller guarantees pmd is present when folio is set. So we
should be safe here. Add comment to make it clear.
