Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] mm: cleanup some useless code

Can you please write a more descriptive commit title? Seeing this in the commit history tells the reader nothing, "code" could mean anything from a state machine to a boolean, and "cleanup" could mean anything from some complex refactoring to something trivial like this, and right now I have to look and see the individual commit. This patch is really just deduplication of effort.

Perhaps:

mm, memcg: Don't check PageTransHuge before calling hpage_nr_pages

It is much simpler to just use hpage_nr_pages for nr_pages and replace
the local variable by PageTransHuge check directly

Heh, calling it "much" simpler seems a bit excessive. I mean, the code is just as readable in both cases, but if it's going to go in, then that's fine. Any merge conflict should be trivial enough to fix.

I'm indifferent to this patch, but after the title change:
