Subject: [PATCH v6 3/3] kselftest: mm: remove check_huge_shmem()
Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2026 08:30:12 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260914-fix_split-v6-3-16ed7123800b@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260914-fix_split-v6-0-16ed7123800b@arm.com>
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.
