[PATCH mm-unstable RFC v4 6/7] mm/huge_memory: make move_huge_pmd() use has_deposited_pgtable()

From: Yin Tirui

Date: Tue May 26 2026 - 11:00:28 EST


Use has_deposited_pgtable() in move_huge_pmd() to decide whether
pmd_move_must_withdraw() should move a deposited pgtable instead of
using the VMA type.

PowerPC radix follows the generic rule. PowerPC hash keeps returning
true.
