Subject: [PATCH V3 3/5] mm/khugepaged: change collapse_pte_mapped_thp() to return void
Date: Sun, 18 Jan 2026 19:22:57 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260118192253.9263-10-shivankg@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260118192253.9263-4-shivankg@amd.com>

The only external caller of collapse_pte_mapped_thp() is uprobe, which
ignores the return value. Change the external API to return void to
simplify the interface.

Introduce try_collapse_pte_mapped_thp() for internal use that preserves
the return value. This prepares for future patch that will convert
the return type to use enum scan_result.
