Shutemov" <kirill.shutemov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: ksm: prepare to new THP semantics We don't need special code to stabilize THP. If you've got reference to any subpage of THP it will not be split under you. New split_huge_page() also accepts tail pages: no need in special code to get reference to head page.
