The confusion seem to have happened only about hpage_nr_pages not about HPAGE_PMD_*. It's just the hpage_ prefix alone that is commonly used by hugetlbfs only and so it's not surprising it caused confusion. So I certainly agree hpage_nr_pages would better be renamed to something more THP specific (either hpage_pmd_nr_pages or trans_huge_nr_pages or as you wish), but HPAGE_PMD_ don't look too confusing about the fact it's only for the THP case since the non-THP case won't necessarily care about PMDs.
