mm: change to return bool for ptep_test_and_clear_young()
Patch series "change young flag check functions to return bool", v2.
This is a cleanup patchset to change all young flag check functions to
return bool, as discussed with David in the previous thread[1]. Since
callers only care about whether the young flag was set, returning bool
makes the intention clearer. No functional changes intended.
This patch (of 6):
Callers use ptep_test_and_clear_young() to clear the young flag and check
whether it was set. Change the return type to bool to make the intention
clearer.
