Subject: [PATCH mm-unstable v18 12/14] mm/khugepaged: avoid unnecessary mTHP collapse attempts
Date: Fri, 22 May 2026 09:00:07 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260522150009.121603-13-npache@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260522150009.121603-1-npache@redhat.com>

There are cases where, if an attempted collapse fails, all subsequent
orders are guaranteed to also fail. Avoid these collapse attempts by
bailing out early.
