Subject: [RFC PATCH 3/7] mm: Mark pagetable memory when allocated
Date: Mon, 20 Oct 2025 01:16:38 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251020001652.2116669-4-willy@infradead.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251020001652.2116669-1-willy@infradead.org>
Move the page type setting from the constructor to the allocation site.
Some of the architecture code is a little complex to reason about, but
I think this is all correct. This makes __pagetable_ctor() empty, so
remove it. While pagetable_pud_ctor() and higher levels are now empty,
leave them alone as there may be call to have them do something in future.
