[PATCHv8 08/32] thp: support file pages in zap_huge_pmd()

From: Kirill A. Shutemov
Date: Thu May 12 2016 - 11:47:07 EST


split_huge_pmd() for file mappings (and DAX too) is implemented by just
clearing pmd entry as we can re-fill this area from page cache on pte
level later.

This means we don't need deposit page tables when file THP is mapped.
Therefore we shouldn't try to withdraw a page table on zap_huge_pmd()
file THP PMD.
