By oopsOverloaded THP availability checks no longer wipe out multi-size transparent huge pages on CPUs without PMD leaves.
By oopsUsama Arif's 29-patch work adds PMD-level swap entries so huge pages need not split on reclaim, with roughly 4x throughput on a swap-heavy benchmark.
By oopsA pmd_modify() mask error since Linux 6.6 could free rewritten huge pages under reclaim, and Polars users hit it in production.
By kexecA migration-based engine aimed at mTHP on large base pages is told to land smaller foundations first, while AI-polished list replies draw separate fire.
By oopsA new page-table helper lets multi-size THP stay available on CPUs that cannot back traditional PMD leaves.
