The patch titled
Subject: mm, THP: add can_split_huge_page()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-thp-add-can_split_huge_page.patch
This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged
------------------------------------------------------
From: Huang Ying <ying.huang@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm, THP: add can_split_huge_page()
Separates checking whether we can split the huge page from
split_huge_page_to_list() into a function. This will help to check that
before splitting the THP (Transparent Huge Page) really.
This will be used for delaying splitting THP during swapping out. Where
for a THP, we will allocate a swap cluster, add the THP into the swap
cache, then split the THP. To avoid the unnecessary operations for the
un-splittable THP, we will check that firstly.
There is no functionality change in this patch.
