[PATCH v6 13/14] mm: replace thp_disabled_by_hw() with pgtable_has_pmd_leaves()
From: Luiz Capitulino
Date: Thu Jul 23 2026 - 21:38:50 EST
Despite its name, thp_disabled_by_hw() just checks whether the
architecture supports PMD-sized pages. It returns true when
TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_UNSUPPORTED is set in transparent_hugepage_flags,
this only occurs if the architecture implements arch_has_pmd_leaves()
and that function returns false.
Since pgtable_has_pmd_leaves() provides the same semantics, use it
instead.
