Date: Mon, 02 Jun 2014 14:36:52 -0700 From: Dave Hansen <dave@...1.net> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: linux-mm@...ck.org, kirill.shutemov@...ux.intel.com, Dave Hansen <dave@...1.net> Subject: [PATCH 06/10] mm: mincore: clean up hugetlbfs handler (part 2) From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@...ux.intel.com> The walk_page_range() code calls in to the ->hugetlbfs_entry handler once for each huge page table entry. This means that addr and end are always within the same huge page. (Well, end is not technically _within_ it, because it is exclusive.) The outer while() loop in mincore_hugetlb_page_range() appears to be designed to work if we crossed a huge page boundary to a new huge pte and 'present' changed. However, that is impossible for two reasons: 1. The above-mentioned walk_page_range() restriction 2. We never move ptep So the outer while() along with the check for crossing the end of the huge page boundary (which is impossible) make no sense. Once we peel it off, it's clear that we can just make the 'return' in to the loop condition.
