[PATCHv11 15/37] ksm: prepare to new THP semantics

Show all headers | View raw

We don't need special code to stabilize THP. If you've got reference to
any subpage of THP it will not be split under you.

New split_huge_page() also accepts tail pages: no need in special code
to get reference to head page.
