Re: [PATCH] LoongArch: let pmd_present return true when splitting pmd

[Huacai Chen]

Hi, Anshuman,

Excuse me, but could you please tell me something that why commit
b65399f6111b ("arm64/mm: Change THP helpers to comply with generic MM
semantics") needn't be backported to 5.4LTS and 4.19LTS series. The
discussion link you referred is as early as in 2018, before 4.19
released. I think this information is important for us because we want
to know how to handle our 4.19-loongarch codebase.
