Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] mm/mprotect: move softleaf code out of the main function
Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2026 15:43:41 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260324154342.156640-2-pfalcato@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260324154342.156640-1-pfalcato@suse.de>

Move softleaf change_pte_range code into a separate function. This makes
the change_pte_range() function a good bit smaller, and lessens cognitive
load when reading through the function.

Reviewed-by: Lorenzo Stoakes (Oracle) <ljs@kernel.org>
