I agree the code can go. But I'd like it to be replaced with a comment explaining what the dead code was trying to say. cheers > diff --git a/arch/powerpc/mm/book3s64/hash_hugepage.c b/arch/powerpc/mm/book3s64/hash_hugepage.c > index c0fabe6c5a12..127a3a2c174b 100644 > --- a/arch/powerpc/mm/book3s64/hash_hugepage.c > +++ b/arch/powerpc/mm/book3s64/hash_hugepage.c > @@ -59,16 +59,6 @@ int __hash_page_thp(unsigned long ea, unsigned long access, unsigned long vsid, > > rflags = htab_convert_pte_flags(new_pmd, flags); > > -#if 0 > - if (!cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_COHERENT_ICACHE)) { > - > - /* > - * No CPU has hugepages but lacks no execute, so we > - * don't need to worry about that case > - */ > - rflags = hash_page_do_lazy_icache(rflags, __pte(old_pte), trap); > - } > -#endif > /* > * Find the slot index details for this ea, using base page size. > */ > -- > 2.39.2

Thanks, i'll update a new patch with the following comment: /* * No CPU has hugepages but lacks no execute, so we * don't need to worry about cpu no CPU_FTR_COHERENT_ICACHE feature case */ > > cheers > >> diff --git a/arch/powerpc/mm/book3s64/hash_hugepage.c b/arch/powerpc/mm/book3s64/hash_hugepage.c >> index c0fabe6c5a12..127a3a2c174b 100644 >> --- a/arch/powerpc/mm/book3s64/hash_hugepage.c >> +++ b/arch/powerpc/mm/book3s64/hash_hugepage.c >> @@ -59,16 +59,6 @@ int __hash_page_thp(unsigned long ea, unsigned long access, unsigned long vsid, >> >> rflags = htab_convert_pte_flags(new_pmd, flags); >> >> -#if 0 >> - if (!cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_COHERENT_ICACHE)) { >> - >> - /* >> - * No CPU has hugepages but lacks no execute, so we >> - * don't need to worry about that case >> - */ >> - rflags = hash_page_do_lazy_icache(rflags, __pte(old_pte), trap); >> - } >> -#endif >> /* >> * Find the slot index details for this ea, using base page size. >> */ >> -- >> 2.39.2

I'm not sure the code/comment are really up to date. cheers

It could say "see eg. __hash_page_4K()", but that's probably unnecessary as it mentions hash_page_do_lazy_icache(), and anyone interested is just going to grep for that anyway. cheers
Thanks all for the reply.

This part was commented from commit 6d492ecc6489 ("powerpc/THP: Add code to handle HPTE faults for hugepages") in about 11 years before. If there are no plans to enable this part code in the future, we can remove this dead code.
