Subject: [PATCH] Revert "mm: introduce a new page type for page pool in page type"
Date: Fri, 15 May 2026 12:47:01 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260515034701.17027-1-byungchul@sk.com> (raw)
This reverts commit db359fccf212e7fa3136e6edbed6228475646fd7.
Netpp page_type'ed pages might be used in mapping so as to use
@_mapcount. However, since @page_type and @_mapcount are union'ed in
struct page, these two can't be used at the same time. Revert the
commit introducing page_type for Netpp for now.
The patch will be retried once @page_type and @_mapcount get allowed to
be used at the same time.
The revert also includes removal of @page_type initialization part
introduced by commit 735a309b4bfb9e ("net: add net_iov_init() and use it
to initialize ->page_type"), which will be restored on the retry.
Reported-by: Dragos Tatulea <dtatulea@nvidia.com>
