Subject: [PATCH v4 5/8] x86/mm: Use pagetable_free()
Date: Fri, 5 Sep 2025 13:51:00 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250905055103.3821518-6-baolu.lu@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250905055103.3821518-1-baolu.lu@linux.intel.com>
The kernel's memory management subsystem provides a dedicated interface,
pagetable_free(), for freeing page table pages. Updates two call sites to
use pagetable_free() instead of the lower-level __free_page() or
free_pages(). This improves code consistency and clarity, and ensures the
correct freeing mechanism is used.
