Subject: Re: [PATCH v3 2/9] mm: rename pointers to software PTE values as ptentp
Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2026 17:21:36 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260922172137.4775C1F000FF@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260922-pte0-v3-2-5670b8cb9059@arm.com>
> Some interfaces use pte_t * for a software PTE value rather than for an
> entry stored in a PTE table. These pointers must remain pte_t * when
> pointers to PTE table storage are converted to hw_pte_t *.
>
> Rename these parameters in the install_pte callback,
> write_protect_page(), and guard_install_set_pte() to ptentp. The later
> Coccinelle conversion skips pointers named ptentp, allowing it to convert
> the remaining PTE table pointers without changing these interfaces.
>
> Some functions already use ptentp for such pointers, including:
> - madvise_folio_pte_batch()
> - folio_pte_batch_flags()
> No need to rename them.
>
> This patch only renames parameters and makes no functional change.
