[PATCH v3 11/13] mm: add softleaf_is_valid_pmd_entry(), pmd_to_softleaf_folio()
From: Lorenzo Stoakes (Oracle)
Date: Fri Mar 20 2026 - 14:15:41 EST
Separate pmd_is_valid_softleaf() into separate components, then use the
pmd_is_valid_softleaf() predicate to implement pmd_to_softleaf_folio().
This returns the folio associated with a softleaf entry at PMD level. It
expects this to be valid for a PMD entry.
If CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is set, then assert on this being an invalid entry, and
either way return NULL in this case.
This lays the ground for further refactorings.
