From: "Aneesh Kumar K.V" <aneesh.ku...@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
With THP we set pmd to none, before we do pte_clear. Hence we can't
walk page table to get the pte lock ptr and verify whether it is locked.
THP do take pte lock before calling pte_clear. So we don't change the locking
rules here. It is that we can't use page table walking to check whether
pte locks are help with THP.
NOTE: This needs to be re-written. Not to be merged upstream.
