Subject: [PATCH RFC 01/19] x86/mm: split out preallocate_sub_pgd()
Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2026 16:34:26 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260225-page_alloc-unmapped-v1-1-e8808a03cd66@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260225-page_alloc-unmapped-v1-0-e8808a03cd66@google.com>

This code will be needed elsewhere in a following patch. Split out the
trivial code move for easy review.

This changes the logging slightly: instead of panic() directly reporting
the level of the failure, there is now a generic panic message which
will be preceded by a separate warn that reports the level of the
failure. This is a simple way to have this helper suit the needs of its
new user as well as the existing one.

Other than logging, no functional change intended.
