[PATCH v3 10/10] KVM: s390: Remove ptep_zap_softleaf_entry()

From: Claudio Imbrenda

Date: Tue Jun 02 2026 - 10:48:36 EST


Migration entries do not need to be removed.

The swap subsystem has been (and still is being) heavily reworked. The
current implementation of ptep_zap_softleaf_entry() has been slowly
modified and is now wrong, since it unconditionally calls
swap_put_entries_direct() for both swap and migration entries.

Remove ptep_zap_softleaf_entry() altogether, merge the path for proper
swap entries directly in the only caller, and ignore migration entries.

Fixes: 200197908dc4 ("KVM: s390: Refactor and split some gmap helpers")
