Subject: [merged mm-stable] mm-change-to-return-bool-for-ptep_clear_flush_young-clear_flush_young_ptes.patch removed from -mm tree
Date: Sat, 28 Mar 2026 17:42:39 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260329004240.1D95FC4CEF7@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
The quilt patch titled
Subject: mm: change to return bool for ptep_clear_flush_young()/clear_flush_young_ptes()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-change-to-return-bool-for-ptep_clear_flush_young-clear_flush_young_ptes.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
------------------------------------------------------
From: Baolin Wang <baolin.wang@linux.alibaba.com>
Subject: mm: change to return bool for ptep_clear_flush_young()/clear_flush_young_ptes()
Date: Sat, 21 Mar 2026 14:42:50 +0800
The ptep_clear_flush_young() and clear_flush_young_ptes() are used to
clear the young flag and flush the TLB, returning whether the young flag
was set. Change the return type to bool to make the intention clearer.
