Subject: [PATCH v1 0/4] mm: move vma_(kernel|mmu)_pagesize() out of hugetlb.c
Date: Fri, 6 Mar 2026 11:15:56 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260306101600.57355-1-david@kernel.org> (raw)
Looking into vma_(kernel|mmu)_pagesize(), I realized that there is one
scenario where DAX would not do the right thing when the kernel is
not compiled with hugetlb support.
Without hugetlb support, vma_(kernel|mmu)_pagesize() will always return
PAGE_SIZE instead of using the ->pagesize() result provided by dax-device
code.
Fix that by moving vma_kernel_pagesize() to core MM code, where it belongs.
I don't think this is stable material, but am not 100% sure.
Also, move vma_mmu_pagesize() while at it. Remove the unnecessary hugetlb.h
inclusion from KVM code.
Cross-compiled heavily.
