Subject: [PATCH 3/4] mm/mprotect: un-inline folio_pte_batch_flags()
Date: Thu, 19 Mar 2026 18:31:07 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260319183108.1105090-4-pfalcato@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260319183108.1105090-1-pfalcato@suse.de>
Hoist some previous, important to be inlined checks to the main loop
and noinline the entirety of folio_pte_batch_flags(). The loop itself is
quite large and whether it is inlined or not should not matter, as we
are ideally dealing with larger orders.
