Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] mm/page_ext: Add page_ext_get_from_phys()
Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2026 09:19:25 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260120091926.670155-2-smostafa@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260120091926.670155-1-smostafa@google.com>
The IOMMU code operates on physical addresses which can be outside
of system RAM.
Add a new function page_ext_get_from_phys() to abstract the logic of
checking the address and returning the page_ext.
