Subject: mm/huge_memory: remove folio split check for READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS
X-Git-Tag: v7.2-rc1~59^2~90
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7c16f524f20c0fe7d694ef889e51a89872846931;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

mm/huge_memory: remove folio split check for READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS

Without READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS, large file-backed folios cannot be created
by a FS without large folio support.  The check is no longer needed.
