Subject: [PATCH v7 4/4] x86/mm/pat: Convert split_large_page() to use ptdescs
Date: Tue, 3 Mar 2026 11:42:09 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260303194209.1406471-1-vishal.moola@gmail.com> (raw)
Use the ptdesc APIs for all page table allocation and free sites to
allow their separate allocation from struct page in the future.
Update split_large_page() to allocate a ptdesc instead of allocating a
page for use as a page table.
