Subject: [PATCH 08/11] powerpc/mm: switch device DAX to shared tail vmemmap pages
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 15:53:39 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260831075342.57563-9-songmuchun@bytedance.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260831075342.57563-1-songmuchun@bytedance.com>

The powerpc radix compound vmemmap population path still finds a reusable
tail page by walking the vmemmap page tables.

Switch it to the common vmemmap_shared_tail_page() helper instead, so it
can use the shared vmemmap page directly to simplify the code.

This removes the powerpc-specific tail-page lookup and its fallback path
and aligns the device DAX vmemmap optimization path with HugeTLB.
