Subject: [PATCH 01/17] mm: Add read-write accessors for vm_page_prot
Date: Wed, 29 Jul 2026 17:54:36 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260729122452.3797443-2-anshuman.khandual@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260729122452.3797443-1-anshuman.khandual@arm.com>

Currently vma->vm_page_prot is safely read from and written to, without any
locks with READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE(). But with introduction of D128 page
tables on arm64 platform, vm_page_prot grows to 128 bits which can't safely
be handled with READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE().

Add read and write accessors for vm_page_prot like pgprot_[read|write]()
which any platform can override when required, although still defaulting as
READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE(), thus preserving the functionality for others.
