Subject: [PATCH mm-unstable v17 12/14] mm/khugepaged: avoid unnecessary mTHP collapse attempts
Date: Mon, 11 May 2026 12:58:12 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260511185817.686831-13-npache@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260511185817.686831-1-npache@redhat.com>
There are cases where, if an attempted collapse fails, all subsequent
orders are guaranteed to also fail. Avoid these collapse attempts by
bailing out early.
