Subject: [PATCH] mm/debug_vm_pgtable: Replace WRITE_ONCE() with pxd_clear()
Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2026 06:12:04 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260227061204.2215395-1-anshuman.khandual@arm.com> (raw)

Replace WRITE_ONCE() with generic pxd_clear() to clear out the page table
entries as required. Besides this does not cause any functional change as
well.
