Subject: [PATCH v1 1/4] mm: move vma_kernel_pagesize() from hugetlb to mm.h
Date: Fri, 6 Mar 2026 11:15:57 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260306101600.57355-2-david@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260306101600.57355-1-david@kernel.org>
In the past, only hugetlb had special "vma_kernel_pagesize()"
requirements, so it provided its own implementation.
In commit 05ea88608d4e ("mm, hugetlbfs: introduce ->pagesize() to
vm_operations_struct") we generalized that approach by providing a
vm_ops->pagesize() callback to be used by device-dax.
Once device-dax started using that callback in commit c1d53b92b95c
("device-dax: implement ->pagesize() for smaps to report MMUPageSize")
it was missed that CONFIG_DEV_DAX does not depend on hugetlb support.
So building a kernel with CONFIG_DEV_DAX but without CONFIG_HUGETLBFS
would not pick up that value.
Fix it by moving vma_kernel_pagesize() to mm.h, providing only a single
implementation. While at it, improve the kerneldoc a bit.
Ideally, we'd move vma_mmu_pagesize() as well to the header. However,
its __weak symbol might be overwritten by a PPC variant in hugetlb code.
So let's leave it in there for now, as it really only matters for some
hugetlb oddities.
This was found by code inspection.
Fixes: c1d53b92b95c ("device-dax: implement ->pagesize() for smaps to report MMUPageSize")
