Subject: [PATCH v2 2/7] mm/khugepaged: extract young page check into collapse_is_referenced() helper
Date: Tue, 14 Jul 2026 20:59:31 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260715025941.1571316-3-npache@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260715025941.1571316-1-npache@redhat.com>

This change deduplicates the "is this PTE/folio referenced enough to be
considered for a collapse" condition that was repeated in both
__collapse_huge_page_isolate() and collapse_scan_pmd(), extracting it into
a single inline helper function.

Also move the comment and use it as the function header. While we are at
it, updated the comment to clarify that a young pte is a recently accessed
one.

Acked-by: Usama Arif <usama.arif@linux.dev>
