[PATCH 2/2] mm, THP: Clean up return value of madvise_free_huge_pmd

From: Huang, Ying
Date: Tue Jun 28 2016 - 13:40:57 EST


From: Huang Ying <ying.huang@xxxxxxxxx>

The definition of return value of madvise_free_huge_pmd is not clear
before. According to the suggestion of Minchan Kim, change the type of
return value to bool and return true if we do MADV_FREE successfully on
entire pmd page, otherwise, return false. Comments are added too.
