Subject: [PATCH mm-unstable v14 14/16] khugepaged: avoid unnecessary mTHP collapse attempts
Date: Thu, 22 Jan 2026 12:28:39 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260122192841.128719-15-npache@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260122192841.128719-1-npache@redhat.com>

There are cases where, if an attempted collapse fails, all subsequent
orders are guaranteed to also fail. Avoid these collapse attempts by
bailing out early.
