Subject: [PATCH RFC v2 18/20] mm/pgtable: disallow calling folded set_pgd/set_p4d/set_pud with dummy
Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2026 16:30:26 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260722-dummy_ptxp3-v2-18-d9e4bad31e0a@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260722-dummy_ptxp3-v2-0-d9e4bad31e0a@arm.com>
From: "David Hildenbrand (Arm)" <david@kernel.org>
Make all code compile-out any calls to set_pgd/set_p4d/set_pud for
folded page tables. So let's make the compiler complain if these helpers
are abused with dummy.
Signed-off-by: David Hildenbrand (Arm) <david@kernel.org>
