Subject: [PATCH 4/6] mm: change to return bool for pmdp_clear_flush_young()
Date: Thu, 19 Mar 2026 11:24:03 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <eb513ed809685f78e0abdeb7f7b6ebdec0fcca18.1773890510.git.baolin.wang@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1773890510.git.baolin.wang@linux.alibaba.com>
The pmdp_clear_flush_young() is used to clear the young flag and flush the
TLB, returning whether the young flag was set for this PMD entry. Change
the return type to bool to make the intention clearer.
