Subject: [PATCH RFC v3 3/4] x86/mm: Remove pte_clrhuge() and clean up init_64.c
Date: Sat, 28 Feb 2026 15:09:05 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260228070906.1418911-4-yintirui@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260228070906.1418911-1-yintirui@huawei.com>
With `pfn_pte()` now guaranteeing that it will natively filter out
huge page attributes like `_PAGE_PSE`, the `pte_clrhuge()` helper has
become obsolete.
Remove `pte_clrhuge()` entirely. Concurrently, clean up the ugly type-casting
anti-pattern in `arch/x86/mm/init_64.c` where `(pte_t *)` was forcibly
cast from `pmd_t *` to call `pte_clrhuge()`. Now, we can simply extract
the pgprot directly via `pmd_pgprot()` and safely pass it downstream, knowing
that `pfn_pte()` will strip the huge bit automatically.
