Subject: [PATCH v2 3/9] mm/huge_memory: have zap_huge_pmd return a boolean, add kdoc
Date: Thu, 19 Mar 2026 13:00:09 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <8bb854291383ff4713427e6d903d6d79435eb153.1773924928.git.ljs@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1773924928.git.ljs@kernel.org>
There's no need to use the ancient approach of returning an integer here,
just return a boolean.
Also update flush_needed to be a boolean, similarly.
Also add a kdoc comment describing the function.
