[PATCH v3 3/7] mm/shmem, swap: tidy up THP swapin checks
Posted by Kairui Song 7 months, 2 weeks ago 
From: Kairui Song <kasong@tencent.com>

Move all THP swapin related checks under CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE,
so they will be trimmed off by the compiler if not needed.

And add a WARN if shmem sees a order > 0 entry when
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is disabled, that should never happen unless
things went very wrong.

There should be no observable feature change except the new added WARN.
