From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill.shutemov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> It's confusing that mk_huge_pmd() has semantics different from mk_pte() or mk_pmd(). I spent some time on debugging issue cased by this inconsistency. Let's move maybe_pmd_mkwrite() out of mk_huge_pmd() and adjust prototype to match mk_pte(). Signed-off-by: Kirill A.
