Subject: [PATCH v2 0/9] Convert x86 pgd_lists to ptdescs
Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2026 11:57:33 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260629185742.126987-1-vishal.moola@gmail.com> (raw)

This continues the ptdesc conversions for x86[1]. This is a necessary step
in preparation for the separate allocation of ptdescs from struct page.
Once ptdescs are not wrappers, the pgd_list should be used to find our
ptdesc, not page.

In fact, after patch 4 we can successfully boot a 32-bit x86 kernel
that separately allocates ptdescs.

All of the patches are rather straightforward, I just kept them split up
for ease of review. There are no intended functional changes as ptdescs
are currently still wrappers around struct page.

----------------

v2:
  - Collect Review tags
  - Rebase on 7.2-rc1

I've compiled and booted both 64 and 32 bit on a kernel with separately
allocated ptdescs. I ensured the codepaths were hit for all the changes
except Xen.

This applies cleanly to 7.2-rc1. Dave, can you please take this through
the x86 mm tree?
