Subject: [PATCH v2 1/6] mm: Make lazy MMU mode context-aware
Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 17:01:19 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <8809412aaed8a515fe2e149c822543d640060936.1776264097.git.agordeev@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1776264097.git.agordeev@linux.ibm.com>

Lazy MMU mode is assumed to be context-independent, in the sense
that it does not need any additional information while operating.
However, the s390 architecture benefits from knowing the exact
page table entries being modified.

Introduce lazy_mmu_mode_enable_for_pte_range(), which is provided
with the process address space and the page table being operated on.
This information is required to enable s390-specific optimizations.

The function takes parameters that are typically passed to page-
table level walkers, which implies that the span of PTE entries
never crosses a page table boundary.

Architectures that do not require such information simply do not
need to define the lazy_mmu_mode_enable_for_pte_range() callback.
