Subject: [PATCH v2 7/7] mm: Documentation: clarify where the mTHP stats live
Date: Tue, 14 Jul 2026 20:59:36 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260715025941.1571316-8-npache@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260715025941.1571316-1-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.
