Subject: [merged mm-stable] kselftest-mm-remove-check_huge_shmem.patch removed from -mm tree
Message-Id: <20261024085756.8DE111F01825@smtp.kernel.org>
Precedence: list


The quilt patch titled
     Subject: kselftest: mm: remove check_huge_shmem()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     kselftest-mm-remove-check_huge_shmem.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: kselftest: mm: remove check_huge_shmem()
Date: Thu, 01 Oct 2026 22:17:54 +0100

check_huge_shmem() was required to distinguish shmem huge pages because
/proc/self/smaps reports them using a dedicated “ShmemPmdMapped” entry,
as opposed to “FilePmdMapped” for file-backed huge pages.

Now that /proc/self/smaps is no longer used to detect huge pages and
/proc/kpageflags is used instead, it is sufficient to distinguish
between file-backed and anonymous pages since the ShmemPmdMapped is also
kind of file-backed.

Therefore, remove check_huge_shmem() and use check_huge_file() instead
and cleanup khugepaged's check_huge operation in mem_ops.
