Subject: [PATCH v3 7/7] mm: Documentation: clarify where the mTHP stats live
Date: Tue, 04 Aug 2026 13:25:05 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260804-khugepaged_pte_refactor-v3-7-0364cad642a0@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260804-khugepaged_pte_refactor-v3-0-0364cad642a0@linux.dev>

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.
