Subject: [RESEND PATCH v1 1/5] mm: vmalloc must set pte via arch code
Date: Thu, 11 May 2023 14:21:09 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230511132113.80196-2-ryan.roberts@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230511132113.80196-1-ryan.roberts@arm.com>
It is bad practice to directly set pte entries within a pte table.
Instead all modifications must go through arch-provided helpers such as
set_pte_at() to give the arch code visibility and allow it to validate
(and potentially modify) the operation.
Fixes: 3e9a9e256b1e ("mm: add a vmap_pfn function")
