Subject: [PATCH v3 2/5] mm: Add batched versions of ptep_modify_prot_start/commit
Date: Mon, 19 May 2025 13:18:21 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250519074824.42909-3-dev.jain@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250519074824.42909-1-dev.jain@arm.com>
Batch ptep_modify_prot_start/commit in preparation for optimizing mprotect.
Architecture can override these helpers; in case not, they are implemented
as a simple loop over the corresponding single pte helpers.
