Subject: [PATCH v2 01/15] userfaultfd: introduce mfill_copy_folio_locked() helper
Date: Fri,  6 Mar 2026 19:18:01 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260306171815.3160826-2-rppt@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260306171815.3160826-1-rppt@kernel.org>

From: "Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)" <rppt@kernel.org>

Split copying of data when locks held from mfill_atomic_pte_copy() into
a helper function mfill_copy_folio_locked().

This makes improves code readability and makes complex
mfill_atomic_pte_copy() function easier to comprehend.

No functional change.
