Subject: [PATCH 3/4] mm/thp: remove code path which never got into
Date:   Sat,  1 Aug 2020 12:09:16 +0800
Message-Id: <1596254957-22560-3-git-send-email-alex.shi@linux.alibaba.com>
In-Reply-To: <1596254957-22560-1-git-send-email-alex.shi@linux.alibaba.com>
References: <1596254957-22560-1-git-send-email-alex.shi@linux.alibaba.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

split_huge_page() will never call on a page which isn't on lru list, so
this code never got a chance to run, and should not be run, to add tail
pages on a lru list which head page isn't there.

Although the bug was never triggered, it'better be removed for code
correctness.

BTW, it looks better to have a WARN() set in the wrong path, but the
path will be changed in incoming new page isolation func. So just save
it now.
