Subject[PATCH 04/18] mm: numa: Do not clear PMD during PTE update scan
Date
If the PMD is flushed then a parallel fault in handle_mm_fault() will enter
the pmd_none and do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page() path where it'll attempt
to insert a huge zero page. This is wasteful so the patch avoids clearing
the PMD when setting pmd_numa.
