Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Docs/mm: fix THP policy counts in transhuge
Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2026 16:03:13 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260812080313.330413-3-husong@kylinos.cn> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260812080313.330413-1-husong@kylinos.cn>

transhuge.rst claims seven policies for transparent_hugepage_shmem= and
four for transparent_hugepage_tmpfs=.  Both boot parameters are parsed by
shmem_parse_huge(), which accepts six: always, within_size, advise, never,
deny and force.  The "four" applies only to the per-mount huge= option
(shmem_param_enums_huge).  Fix both counts to six.
