Agreed. We are bikeshedding here. But if we really can't swallow "small-sized THP" then perhaps the most efficient way to move this forwards is to review the documentation (where "small-sized THP" appears twice in order to differentiate from PMD-sized THP) - its in patch 3. Perhaps it will be easier to come up with a good description in the context of those prose? Then once we have that, hopefully a term will fall out that I'll update the commit logs with.I will see you over in patch 3, then. I've already looked at it and am going to suggest a long and a short name. The long name is for use in comments and documentation, and the short name is for variable fragments: Long name: "pte-mapped THPs" Short names: pte_thp, or pte-thp
The issue is that any THP can be pte-mapped, even a PMD-sized THP. However, the "natural" way to map a PMD-sized THP is using a PMD.
