[PATCH v2 03/12] mm/khugepaged: rename mthp_present_ptes bitmap to eligible_ptes

From: Kiryl Shutsemau <hidden>
Date: 2026-09-10 12:03:00
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: memory management, memory management - thp (transparent huge page), the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, David Hildenbrand, Linus Torvalds

From: "Kiryl Shutsemau (Meta)" <kas@kernel.org>

The name says less than the bit means.  A set bit means not only that the
PTE is present, but also that it passed the other checks: uffd,
lazyfree, anonymity, sharing.  The PTE can be considered a collapse
source.

mthp_collapse() then reads the bitmap starting at the PMD order, so the
bitmap is not specific to mTHP either.

Name it for what a set bit means, and update the comments that named it.

No functional change.
