Subject: [Patch v2 3/3] mm/khugepaged: unify SCAN_PMD_NONE and SCAN_PMD_NULL into SCAN_NO_PTE_TABLE
Date: Fri, 14 Nov 2025 03:00:28 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251114030028.7035-4-richard.weiyang@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251114030028.7035-1-richard.weiyang@gmail.com>
The current hugepage collapse scan results include two separate values,
SCAN_PMD_NONE and SCAN_PMD_NULL, which are handled identically by
the consuming code.
To reduce confusion and improve long-term maintenance, this commit
merges these two functionally equivalent states into a single, clearer
identifier: SCAN_NO_PTE_TABLE
Suggested-by: "David Hildenbrand (Red Hat)" <david@kernel.org>
