I am sorry to forget address Kirill's comment in 1st version.
The first one is the performance difference after this change for a PTE
mappged THP.
Here is the result:(in cycle)
Before Patched
963 195
988 40
895 78
Average 948 104
So the change reduced 90% time for function split_huge_pmd_address().
For the 2nd comment, the vma check. Let me take a further look to analysis.
Thanks for Kirill's suggestion.
