Subject: [PATCH 01/13] mm: add softleaf_to_pmd() and convert existing callers
Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2026 03:01:50 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260427100553.2754667-2-usama.arif@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260427100553.2754667-1-usama.arif@linux.dev>
Add softleaf_to_pmd() as the PMD counterpart to softleaf_to_pte(),
completing the symmetry of the softleaf abstraction for page table
leaf entries.
The upcoming PMD swap entry support needs to construct PMD entries
from swap entries. Converting existing swp_entry_to_pmd() callers
to softleaf_to_pmd() in a prep patch keeps the feature patches
focused on new functionality rather than mixing refactoring with
new code.
