[RFC PATCH v2 14/47] hugetlb: make default arch_make_huge_pte understand small mappings

From: James Houghton
Date: Fri Oct 21 2022 - 12:38:39 EST


This is a simple change: don't create a "huge" PTE if we are making a
regular, PAGE_SIZE PTE. All architectures that want to implement HGM
likely need to be changed in a similar way if they implement their own
version of arch_make_huge_pte.
