Subject: [PATCH] mm/memory: remove unused vmf_insert_mixed_mkwrite()
Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2026 23:37:06 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260929143707.450805-1-ekffu200098@gmail.com> (raw)
Since commit 38607c62b34b ("fs/dax: properly refcount fs dax pages"),
vmf_insert_mixed_mkwrite() has no callers, so the mkwrite argument of
__vm_insert_mixed() and insert_pfn() is always false.
So remove the function, the mkwrite argument and the unreachable
mkwrite branches. Also merge __vm_insert_mixed() into vmf_insert_mixed().
No functional change.
