From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> The page walker functions are only called _via_ the page walker. I don't see this changing any time soon. The page walker only calls walk->hugetlb_entry() under an #ifdef CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE. With this in place, I think putting BUG()s in the ->hugetlb_entry handlers is a bit like wearing a belt and suspenders. This axes the BUG() from the mincore ->hugetlb_entry along with the #ifdef. The compiler is more than smart enough to do the right thing when it sees: if (1) return; // unreachable The only downside here is that we now need some header stubs for huge_pte_none() / huge_pte_get().
