[PATCH 5/6] mm: change to return bool for pudp_test_and_clear_young()

Baolin Wang posted 6 patches 2 weeks, 6 days ago
There is a newer version of this series
[PATCH 5/6] mm: change to return bool for pudp_test_and_clear_young()
Posted by Baolin Wang 2 weeks, 6 days ago 
The pudp_test_and_clear_young() is used to clear the young flag,
returning whether the young flag was set for this PUD entry. Change
the return type to bool to make the intention clearer.
