Subject: [PATCH v2 26/30] KVM: arm64: Replace force_pte with a max_map_size attribute
Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2026 11:36:14 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260327113618.4051534-27-maz@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260327113618.4051534-1-maz@kernel.org>
force_pte is annoyingly limited in what it expresses, and we'd
be better off with a more generic primitive. Introduce max_map_size
instead, which does the trick and can be moved into the vma_info
structure. This firther allows it to reduce the scopes in which
it is mutable.
