Subject: Re: [PATCH] mm: Remove misleading ARCH_USES_NUMA_PROT_NONE
Mel Gorman <mgorman@...e.de> writes:
> ARCH_USES_NUMA_PROT_NONE was defined for architectures that implemented
> _PAGE_NUMA using _PROT_NONE. This saved using an additional PTE bit and

> Commit c46a7c81 "x86: define _PAGE_NUMA by reusing software bits on the
> PMD and PTE levels" redefined _PAGE_NUMA on x86 to be one of the swap
> PTE bits and shrunk the maximum possible swap size but it did not go far
> enough. There are no architectures that reuse _PROT_NONE as _PROT_NUMA
> but the relics still exist.

> This necessitated that a PTE bit mask be created that identified the bits

> are equivalent for the purposes of the helper so they are mapped instead
