mm: thp: Return the correct value for change_huge_pmd

Mel Gorman · torvalds · commit ba68bc0115eb · 2015-03-12T14:07:41.000-07:00
The wrong value is being returned by change_huge_pmd since commit 10c1045 ("mm: numa: avoid unnecessary TLB flushes when setting NUMA hinting entries") which allows a fallthrough that tries to adjust non-existent PTEs. This patch corrects it. Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
