Subject: [PATCH v3 04/26] x86/mm: split out preallocate_sub_pgd()
Date: Sun, 26 Jul 2026 22:22:37 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260726-page_alloc-unmapped-v3-4-6f5729aa9832@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260726-page_alloc-unmapped-v3-0-6f5729aa9832@google.com>
This code will be needed elsewhere in a following patch. Split out the
trivial code move for easy review.
As a side effect, change the logging slightly: instead of directly
reporting the level of the failure in panic(), show a generic panic
message, will be preceded by a separate warn that reports the level of
the failure. This is a simple way to have this helper suit the needs of
its new user as well as the existing one.
Other than logging, no functional change intended.
