I guess the cleanest way is to hook into dequeue_huge_page_node and add
something like arch_clear_hugepage_flags.
I hooked into enqueue_huge_page instead, but how about something like this?:
Do you have any specific reason for that? enqueue_huge_page is called on
pages which potentially never get used so isn't that wasting a bit?
Not that it would be wrong I was just thinking why shouldn't we do it
when the page is actualy going to be used for sure.
