Subject: [PATCH RFC 12/18] x86/pat/mm, mm/set_memory: abstract the CPA page table lock
Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2026 19:23:35 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260721-generic-set-memory-v0-1-v1-12-2c1fc62306b3@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260721-generic-set-memory-v0-1-v1-0-2c1fc62306b3@kernel.org>
x86 requires taking pgd_lock to serialize large page splits against
parallel page table operations, for instance such as
arch_sync_kernel_mappings() and pgd allocation and freeing.
Add arch_lock() and arch_unlock() static inlines that replace direct
locking/unlocking of the pgd_lock in CPA core.
Since only x86 needs such lock, keep things simple and use #ifdef
CONFIG_X86 rather than creating an overridable infrastructure.
No functional change intended.
