Subject: [PATCH v5 3/9] mm/khugepaged: rename mthp_present_ptes bitmap to eligible_ptes
Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2026 18:11:36 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261014171145.3292736-4-kas@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261014171145.3292736-1-kas@kernel.org>
The name says less than the bit means. A set bit means not only that the
PTE is present, but also that it passed the other checks: uffd,
lazyfree, anonymity, sharing. The PTE can be considered a collapse
source.
mthp_collapse() then reads the bitmap starting at the PMD order, so the
bitmap is not specific to mTHP either.
Name it for what a set bit means, and update the comments that named it.
No functional change.
