[RFC PATCH v1 6/7] mm: memcontrol: Remove now-unused function mem_cgroup_charge_hugetlb
From: Ackerley Tng
Date: Wed Feb 11 2026 - 19:39:33 EST
With the (re)introduction of the try-commit-cancel charging protocol for
HugeTLB's use, mem_cgroup_charge_hugetlb() is now redundant.
Remove the function's implementation from mm/memcontrol.c and its
declaration from include/linux/memcontrol.h
No functional change intended.
