Subject: fs: remove nr_thps from struct address_space
Date: Thu, 23 Apr 2026 22:49:10 -0400
filemap_nr_thps*() are removed, the related field, address_space->nr_thps,
is no longer needed. Remove it. This shrinks struct address_space by 8
bytes on 64-bit systems which may increase the number of inodes we can
cache.
