[PATCH v2] mm: replace is_zero_pfn with is_huge_zero_pmd for thp

From: Yu Zhao
Date: Fri Nov 08 2019 - 14:26:39 EST


For hugely mapped thp, we use is_huge_zero_pmd() to check if it's
zero page or not.

We do fill ptes with my_zero_pfn() when we split zero thp pmd, but
this is not what we have in vm_normal_page_pmd() --
pmd_trans_huge_lock() makes sure of it.

This is a trivial fix for /proc/pid/numa_maps, and AFAIK nobody
complains about it.

I came across this while I was looking at the code, so I'm not aware of
any symptom.
