It's always nice to know *why* it's not used.

It's unlikely, but not impossible, that it's a bug that the variable is
not used.

To find out why:

  $ git log --oneline -S sz arch/powerpc/mm/hugetlbpage-hash64.c
  0895ecda7942 powerpc/mm: Bring hugepage PTE accessor functions back into sync with normal accessors
  883a3e523672 powerpc/mm: Split hash MMU specific hugepage code into a new file

Then we look at those, and see the the first one did:

@@ -89,8 +62,7 @@ int __hash_page_huge(unsigned long ea, unsigned long access, unsigned long vsid,
        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_huge_page_do_lazy_icache(rflags, __pte(old_pte),
-                                                      trap, sz);
+               rflags = hash_page_do_lazy_icache(rflags, __pte(old_pte), trap);


And if you read the commit log it's pretty clear the change was
deliberate and so sz should indeed be removed.

I've applied this as-is, no need to send a v2.

cheers
