Subject: [RFC PATCH 00/18] use struct ptdesc to replace pgtable_t
From: Alex Shi <alexs@...nel.org>
We have struct ptdesc for page table descriptor a year ago, but it
has no much usages in kernel, while pgtable_t is used widely.
The pgtable_t is typedefed as 'pte_t *' in sparc, s390, powerpc and m68k
except SUN3, others archs are all same as 'struct page *'.
These blocks the conception and code update for page table descriptor to
struct ptdesc.
So, the simple idea to push the ptdesc conception forward is to update
all pgtable_t by ptdesc or pte_t pointer. But this needs widely
knowledges for most all of different archs. Common code change is easy
for include/ and mm/ directory, but it's hard in all archs.
Thanks for intel LKP framework, I fixed most all of build issues except
a bug on powerpc which reports a "struct ptdesc *" incompatible with
struct ptdesc *' pointer issue...
Another trouble is pmd_pgtable() conversion in the last patch.
Maybe some of arch need define theirself own pmd_ptdesc()?
This patchset is immature, even except above 2 issues, I just tested
virutal machine booting and kselftest mm on x86 and arm64.
Anyway any input are appreciated!
Thanks
Alex
