Hi Alex,

Sorry missed your previous mail.

Ok, I tried every defconfig available:

- for the nohash/32, I found that I could use mpc885_ads_defconfig and I 
activated HUGETLBFS.
I removed the definition of huge_ptep_set_wrprotect from 
nohash/32/pgtable.h, add an #error in
include/asm-generic/hugetlb.h right before the generic definition of 
huge_ptep_set_wrprotect,
and fell onto it at compile-time:
=> I'm pretty confident then that removing the definition of 
huge_ptep_set_wrprotect does not
break anythingin this case.

Thanks, that sounds good.

- regardind book3s/32, I did not find any defconfig with 
CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_32, CONFIG_PPC32
allowing to enable huge page support (ie CONFIG_SYS_SUPPORTS_HUGETLBFS)
=> Do you have a defconfig that would allow me to try the same as above ?

I think you're right, it's dead code AFAICS.

We have:

config PPC_BOOK3S_64
        ...
	select SYS_SUPPORTS_HUGETLBFS

config PPC_FSL_BOOK3E
        ...
	select SYS_SUPPORTS_HUGETLBFS if PHYS_64BIT || PPC64

config PPC_8xx
	...
	select SYS_SUPPORTS_HUGETLBFS


So we can't ever enable HUGETLBFS for Book3S 32.

Presumably the code got copied when we split the headers apart.

So I think you can just ignore that one, and we'll delete it.

cheers
