Subject: Re: [PATCH v3 13/13] mm/huge_memory: add and use has_deposited_pgtable()
Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 18:06:18 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4993bd8e-427a-47b4-894b-d003d6717909@kernel.org> (raw)

Please make sure to wrap such a check in a well named and good
documented helper function :)
