[v3 PATCH 5/8] mm: khugepaged: make khugepaged_enter() void function

From: Yang Shi
Date: Mon Apr 04 2022 - 17:51:29 EST


The most callers of khugepaged_enter() don't care about the return
value. Only dup_mmap(), anonymous THP page fault and MADV_HUGEPAGE handle
the error by returning -ENOMEM. Actually it is not harmful for them to
ignore the error case either. It also sounds overkilling to fail fork()
and page fault early due to khugepaged_enter() error, and MADV_HUGEPAGE
does set VM_HUGEPAGE flag regardless of the error.
