Subject: [merged mm-stable] mm-stop-using-pxd_error.patch removed from -mm tree
Date: Tue, 06 Oct 2026 17:51:50 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261007005151.355FD1F0089C@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
The quilt patch titled
Subject: mm: stop using pxd_ERROR()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-stop-using-pxd_error.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: stop using pxd_ERROR()
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 11:13:24 +0530
pxd_ERROR() has been used in generic mm just to print the page table entry
in pxd_clear_bad() before clearing those out with pxd_clear() later.
These pxd_ERROR() macros have been provided by all platforms which
basically did the same thing.
Make pxd_clear_bad() use recently added ptval_to_str() instead for
printing page table entries thus completely dropping dependency on
platform provided pxd_ERROR() macros which can then be dropped off later
on.
