[PATCH] hugetlb: make hugepage_put_subpool() tolerate NULL
From: Yichong Chen
Date: Mon Jul 20 2026 - 03:44:34 EST
Both callers of hugepage_put_subpool() check whether the subpool pointer
is NULL before calling it. Move the NULL check into
hugepage_put_subpool() so callers can use the helper unconditionally.
This is a follow-up cleanup after using hugepage_put_subpool() from the
hugetlbfs_fill_super() failure path.
