Subject: [PATCH v8 02/15] mm: rename pointers to software PTE values as ptentp
Date: Wed,  7 Oct 2026 13:41:45 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <76c38f9eea5132fe56aafffc68d5c499f423a705.1791365932.git.agordeev@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1791365932.git.agordeev@linux.ibm.com>

From: Muhammad Usama Anjum <usama.anjum@arm.com>

Some interfaces use pte_t * for a software PTE value rather than for an
entry stored in a PTE table. These pointers must remain pte_t * when
pointers to PTE table storage are converted to hw_pte_t *.

Rename these parameters in the install_pte callback,
write_protect_page(), and guard_install_set_pte() to ptentp. The later
Coccinelle conversion skips pointers named ptentp, allowing it to convert
the remaining PTE table pointers without changing these interfaces.

Some functions already use ptentp for such pointers, including:
- madvise_folio_pte_batch()
- folio_pte_batch_flags()
No need to rename them.

This patch only renames parameters and makes no functional change.
