Subject: [PATCH] mm: Compute mTHP order efficiently
We use pte_range_none() to determine whether contiguous PTEs are empty
for an mTHP allocation. Instead of iterating the while loop for every
order, use some information, which is the first set PTE found, from the
previous iteration, to eliminate some cases. The key to understanding
the correctness of the patch is that the ranges we want to examine
form a strictly decreasing sequence of nested intervals.
