[RFC][PATCH 5/6] teach smaps_pte_range() about THP pmds

From: Dave Hansen
Date: Mon Jan 31 2011 - 19:35:00 EST



This adds code to explicitly detect and handle
pmd_trans_huge() pmds. It then passes HPAGE_SIZE units
in to the smap_pte_entry() function instead of PAGE_SIZE.

This means that using /proc/$pid/smaps now will no longer
cause THPs to be broken down in to small pages.
