Subject: mm: actually mark kernel page table pages
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=977870522af34359b461060597ee3a86f27450d6;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

mm: actually mark kernel page table pages

Now that the API is in place, mark kernel page table pages just after they
are allocated.  Unmark them just before they are freed.

Note: Unconditionally clearing the 'kernel' marking (via
ptdesc_clear_kernel()) would be functionally identical to what is here.
But having the if() makes it logically clear that this function can be
used for kernel and non-kernel page tables.
