Subject: [PATCH v1 4/9] mm/memory: Add tree limit to free_pgtables()
Date: Tue, 9 Sep 2025 15:09:40 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250909190945.1030905-5-Liam.Howlett@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250909190945.1030905-1-Liam.Howlett@oracle.com>
The ceiling and tree search limit need to be different arguments for the
future change in the failed fork attempt.
Add some documentation around free_pgtables() and the limits in an
attempt to clarify the floor and ceiling use as well as the new
tree_max.
Test code also updated.
No functional changes intended.
