Subject: [PATCH RFC v2 06/20] mm/pgtable: define (pgd|p4d|pud)_leaf() for folded page tables
Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2026 16:30:14 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260722-dummy_ptxp3-v2-6-d9e4bad31e0a@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260722-dummy_ptxp3-v2-0-d9e4bad31e0a@arm.com>

From: "David Hildenbrand (Arm)" <david@kernel.org>

Let's define (pgd|p4d|pud)_leaf(), hard-coding it to "false". Note
that we missed to define pud_leaf() before, allowing architectures to
unknowingly overwrite it.

Still use static inline functions (type checking), and while at it, just
use "bool" as a return value.

We can now drop the arm64 custom variant that did that. As it documents:

	Note: reusing the original pointer means that we may
	dereference the same (live) page-table entry multiple times.
	This is safe because it is still only loaded once in the
	context of each level and the CPU guarantees same-address
	read-after-read ordering.

We now have the same situation. Don't document that, as we will be
removing the double read next.
