[PATCH 1/2] mm: thp: Return the correct value for change_huge_pmd

From: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de>
Date: 2015-03-05 23:55:04
Also in: linux-mm, linux-xfs, lkml
Subsystem: memory management, memory management - thp (transparent huge page), the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, David Hildenbrand, Lorenzo Stoakes, Linus Torvalds

The wrong value is being returned by change_huge_pmd since commit
10c1045f28e8 ("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.
