Subject: [merged mm-stable] mm-introduce-config_arch_has_lazy_mmu_mode.patch removed from -mm tree
Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2026 19:26:41 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260121032641.BE91CC16AAE@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
The quilt patch titled
Subject: mm: introduce CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_LAZY_MMU_MODE
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-introduce-config_arch_has_lazy_mmu_mode.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm: introduce CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_LAZY_MMU_MODE
Date: Mon, 15 Dec 2025 15:03:15 +0000
Architectures currently opt in for implementing lazy_mmu helpers by
defining __HAVE_ARCH_ENTER_LAZY_MMU_MODE.
In preparation for introducing a generic lazy_mmu layer that will require
storage in task_struct, let's switch to a cleaner approach: instead of
defining a macro, select a CONFIG option.
This patch introduces CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_LAZY_MMU_MODE and has each arch
select it when it implements lazy_mmu helpers.
__HAVE_ARCH_ENTER_LAZY_MMU_MODE is removed and <linux/pgtable.h> relies on
the new CONFIG instead.
On x86, lazy_mmu helpers are only implemented if PARAVIRT_XXL is selected.
This creates some complications in arch/x86/boot/, because a few files
manually undefine PARAVIRT* options. As a result <asm/paravirt.h> does
not define the lazy_mmu helpers, but this breaks the build as
<linux/pgtable.h> only defines them if !CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_LAZY_MMU_MODE.
There does not seem to be a clean way out of this - let's just undefine
that new CONFIG too.
