Subject: [PATCH v2 11/11] mm: thp: x86: cleanup PSE feature bit usage
Date: Mon, 9 Feb 2026 17:14:33 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <c9d9bcab76605457af2bec0ede42c25c52d8bcbf.1770675272.git.luizcap@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1770675272.git.luizcap@redhat.com>
Historically, THP support on x86 checked the PSE feature bit to enable
THP. On 64-bit, this check is redundant since PSE is always enabled by
default for compatibility. On 32-bit, PSE can enable 2 MiB or 4 MiB
page sizes so it must be checked. To clean this up, this commit:
1. Drops arch_has_pmd_leaves() from common x86 code. For 64-bit,
we assume PMD-sized pages are always supported
2. Checks for PSE only on 32-bit by implementing arch_has_pmd_leaves()
