mm/page_table_check: Pass mm_struct to pxx_user_accessible_page()

2026-03-12T23:07:47+00:00

Unlike other architectures, s390 does not have means to distinguish kernel vs user page table entries - neither an entry itself, nor the address could be used for that. It is only the mm_struct that indicates whether an entry in question is mapped to a user space. So pass mm_struct to pxx_user_accessible_page() callbacks.

mm: provide address parameter to p{te,md,ud}_user_accessible_page()

2026-01-27T04:02:35+00:00

On several powerpc platforms, a page table entry may not imply whether the relevant mapping is for userspace or kernelspace. Instead, such platforms infer this by the address which is being accessed. Add an additional address argument to each of these routines in order to provide support for page table check on powerpc.

mm/page_table_check: provide addr parameter to page_table_check_ptes_set()

To provide support for powerpc platforms, provide an addr parameter to the __page_table_check_ptes_set() and page_table_check_ptes_set() routines. This parameter is needed on some powerpc platforms which do not encode whether a mapping is for user or kernel in the pte. On such platforms, this can be inferred from the addr parameter.

mm: replace pmd_to_swp_entry() with softleaf_from_pmd()

2025-11-24T23:08:51+00:00

Introduce softleaf_from_pmd() to do the equivalent operation for PMDs that softleaf_from_pte() fulfils, and cascade changes through code base accordingly, introducing helpers as necessary. We are then able to eliminate pmd_to_swp_entry(), is_pmd_migration_entry(), is_pmd_device_private_entry() and is_pmd_non_present_folio_entry(). This further establishes the use of leaf operations throughout the code base and further establishes the foundations for eliminating is_swap_pmd(). No functional change intended.

mm: avoid unnecessary use of is_swap_pmd()

2025-11-24T23:08:51+00:00

PMD 'non-swap' swap entries are currently used for PMD-level migration entries and device private entries. To add to the confusion in this terminology we use is_swap_pmd() in an inconsistent way similar to how is_swap_pte() was being used - sometimes adopting the convention that !pmd_none(), !pmd_present() implies PMD 'swap' entry, sometimes not. This patch handles the low-hanging fruit of cases where we can simply substitute other predicates for is_swap_pmd(). No functional change intended.
