From 77752fe6d99310e94f17ff997b640e191fe6436c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "David Hildenbrand (Red Hat)" Date: Tue, 23 Dec 2025 22:40:36 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] mm/rmap: fix two comments related to huge_pmd_unshare() commit a8682d500f691b6dfaa16ae1502d990aeb86e8be upstream. PMD page table unsharing no longer touches the refcount of a PMD page table. Also, it is not about dropping the refcount of a "PMD page" but the "PMD page table". Let's just simplify by saying that the PMD page table was unmapped, consequently also unmapping the folio that was mapped into this page. This code should be deduplicated in the future.
