Subject: [PATCH v2 04/10] arm64: mm: Preserve existing table mappings when mapping DRAM
Date: Mon, 26 Jan 2026 10:26:35 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260126092630.1800589-16-ardb+git@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260126092630.1800589-12-ardb+git@google.com>

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>

Instead of blindly overwriting an existing table entry when mapping DRAM
regions, take care not to replace a pre-existing table entry with a
block entry. This permits the logic of mapping the kernel's linear alias
to be simplified in a subsequent patch.
