[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/huge_memory: have zap_huge_pmd return a boolean, add kdoc
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-huge_memory-have-zap_huge_pmd-return-a-boolean-add-kdoc.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm/huge_memory: have zap_huge_pmd return a boolean, add kdoc
Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2026 18:07:20 +0000

There's no need to use the ancient approach of returning an integer here,
just return a boolean.

Also update flush_needed to be a boolean, similarly.

Also add a kdoc comment describing the function.

No functional change intended.
