The patch titled Subject: mm/khugepaged: unify collapse pmd clear, flush and free has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is mm-khugepaged-unify-collapse-pmd-clear-flush-and-free.patch This patch should soon appear at https://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/mm-khugepaged-unify-collapse-pmd-clear-flush-and-free.patch and later at https://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/mm-khugepaged-unify-collapse-pmd-clear-flush-and-free.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Pasha Tatashin <pasha.tatashin@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/khugepaged: unify collapse pmd clear, flush and free Unify the code that flushes, clears pmd entry, and frees the PTE table level into a new function collapse_and_free_pmd(). This cleanup is useful as in the next patch we will add another call to this function to iterate through PTE prior to freeing the level for page table check.
