Subject: [PATCH 2/3] mm: generalize PMD page table allocation
Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2026 11:59:09 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261014035910.687847-3-songmuchun@bytedance.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261014035910.687847-1-songmuchun@bytedance.com>

The generic PMD allocator assumes order-0 page tables and zero-valued
empty entries. MIPS and LoongArch need pmd_init() to install their invalid
entries, while MIPS and parisc use PMD_TABLE_ORDER to describe the
allocation size.

Default PMD_TABLE_ORDER to zero, honor architecture overrides, and invoke
pmd_init() from the generic allocator. MIPS, LoongArch, and parisc can then
use the generic GFP selection, constructor handling, and kernel ptdesc
marking instead of duplicating most of the helper.
