Subject: [PATCH v8 02/10] powerpc/8xx: add pte_set_huge()
Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2026 13:29:25 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260917052933.188679-3-jiangwenxiaomi@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260917052933.188679-1-jiangwenxiaomi@gmail.com>
From: Wen Jiang <jiangwen6@xiaomi.com>
vmap installs PTE-level block mappings (SZ_16K/SZ_512K on powerpc/8xx)
by reusing set_huge_pte_at(), a HugeTLB helper gated by
CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE. This makes the feature silently unavailable on
CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE=n kernels and couples mm/vmalloc.c to HugeTLB
internals it does not otherwise need.
Add pte_set_huge() to powerpc/8xx, next to the existing
pmd_clear_huge()/pud_clear_huge() in mm/nohash/8xx.c. It builds the huge
PTE and writes it into the backing cells directly, without going through
set_huge_pte_at(), so it does not depend on CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE.
No pte_clear_huge() is needed: 8xx does not implement
arch_vmap_pte_range_unmap_size(), so the vmap unmap path never takes the
block-mapping branch.
In practice PPC_8xx selects HUGETLBFS unconditionally, so
CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE=n does not occur there today; this is a decoupling
cleanup rather than a new configuration.
There is no caller yet: mm/vmalloc.c is converted later in this series,
once the generic fallbacks are in place.
