Patch series "unify PMD scan results and remove redundant cleanup", v2. This small series addresses two minor cleanup opportunities in the hugepage collapse logic. The initial motivation arose during a code review of madvise_collapse(), where it was noted that the function was missing a handler for SCAN_PMD_NONE. This oversight exposed the inconsistent handling of SCAN_PMD_NULL and SCAN_PMD_NONE. Since both scan results are functionally identical (they indicate the absence of a PTE table), the primary patch unifies them into a single, clearer identifier, SCAN_NO_PTE_TABLE. The series also takes the opportunity to remove a redundant clearing of the struct collapse_control. This patch (of 3): The structure struct collapse_control is being unnecessarily cleared twice during the huge page collapse process. Both hpage_collapse_scan_file() and hpage_collapse_scan_pmd() currently perform a clear operation on this structure. Remove the redundant clear operation.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
