- * This function is meant to be used by sites walking pagetables with

- * version above, is also needed when THP is disabled because the page

Delete pmd_trans_unstable, pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad() and pmd_devmap_trans_unstable(), all now unused. With mixed feelings, delete all the comments on pmd_trans_unstable(). That was very good documentation of a subtle state, and this series does not even eliminate that state: but rather, normalizes and extends it, asking pte_offset_map[_lock]() callers to anticipate failure, without regard for whether mmap_read_lock() or mmap_write_lock() is held. Retain pud_trans_unstable(), which has one use in __handle_mm_fault(), but delete its equivalent pud_none_or_trans_huge_or_dev_or_clear_bad(). While there, move the default arch_needs_pgtable_deposit() definition up near where pgtable_trans_huge_deposit() and withdraw() are declared.
