Subject: [PATCH 6/6] mm/sparse-vmemmap: open-code vmemmap_populate_address()
Date: Sun, 13 Sep 2026 16:37:34 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260913083734.86802-7-songmuchun@bytedance.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260913083734.86802-1-songmuchun@bytedance.com>
vmemmap_populate_address() no longer has any callers that need the
returned PTE. Its only remaining user, vmemmap_populate_range(), only
checks whether population succeeded.
Open-code vmemmap_populate_address() directly in
vmemmap_populate_basepages(), remove the now-redundant range helper,
and return -ENOMEM directly on failure.
