Subject: [PATCH v3 08/10] mm: replace thp_disabled_by_hw() with pgtable_has_pmd_leaves()
Date: Wed, 8 Apr 2026 16:23:03 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <9432a2398caef7261ca44355fb7b786bb20bc15e.1775679721.git.luizcap@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1775679721.git.luizcap@redhat.com>
Despite its name, thp_disabled_by_hw() just checks whether the
architecture supports PMD-sized pages. It returns true when
TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_UNSUPPORTED is set in transparent_hugepage_flags,
this only occurs if the architecture implements arch_has_pmd_leaves()
and that function returns false.
Since pgtable_has_pmd_leaves() provides the same semantics, use it
instead.
