Subject: [PATCH 8/8] mm: Documentation: clarify where the mTHP stats live
Date: Mon,  6 Jul 2026 09:44:55 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260706154500.39178-9-npache@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260706154500.39178-1-npache@redhat.com>

The note about khugepaged counters references /proc/vmstat for the PMD
case, but never mentions where the mTHPs stats can be found
(i.e.: /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hugepages-<size>kB/stats/)
Add a small addition to this section for clarity.

Also fix a missing period while we are at it.
