We added them after running into page-table issues with THP [1] and it's really important to use them consistently to avoid hitting that again. If the generic code used READ_ONCE(), I'd be happy to switch to it. Will [1] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1506527369-19535-1-git-send-email-will.deacon@arm.com/

Sure, will add READ_ONCE() in the generic huge_ptep_get(). AFAICS it should not cause any problem for other platforms (but let me know otherwise). > > Will > > [1] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1506527369-19535-1-git-send-email-will.deacon@arm.com/ >

Platform specific huge_ptep_get() is required only when fetching the huge PTE involves more than just dereferencing the page table pointer. This is not the case on arm64 platform. Hence huge_ptep_pte() can be dropped along with it's __HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_PTEP_GET subscription.
