[PATCH v4 2/2] uprobe: collapse THP pmd after removing all uprobes

From: Song Liu
Date: Fri Aug 02 2019 - 19:18:40 EST


After all uprobes are removed from the huge page (with PTE pgtable), it
is possible to collapse the pmd and benefit from THP again. This patch
does the collapse by calling collapse_pte_mapped_thp().
