Subject: [PATCH v6 1/4] x86/mm/pat: Convert pte code to use page table apis
Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2026 18:03:51 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260219020354.321088-2-vishal.moola@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260219020354.321088-1-vishal.moola@gmail.com>

We need all allocation and free sites to use the ptdesc APIs in order to
allocate them separately from regular pages. Convert the pte
allocation/free sites to use the generic page table apis, since those
use ptdescs already.

Pass through init_mm since these are kernel page tables,
pte_alloc_one_kernel() effectively becomes a no-op otherwise.
