Subject: [PATCH 3/4] mm: Mark pagetable memory when allocated
Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2025 14:04:45 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251113140448.1814860-4-willy@infradead.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251113140448.1814860-1-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.
