[PATCH v3 0/4] x86/mm: some cleanups for pagetable setup code
From: Brendan Jackman
Date: Wed Jun 24 2026 - 08:32:41 EST
Per discussion in [0] I'm looking for ways to refactor this code to make
ASI easier to deal with. But, while looking, I found some little things
that seem like just straightforward cleanups without any real
refactoring needed. So let's start there.
This applies to tip/master.
I'm having some infra issues so this hasn't been through Sashiko review
yet. I've tested it on QEMU.

Changes in v3:
- Rebased, added trailers.
- Tweaked commit messages / comments.
- Cleaned up paddr_last assignment.
- Added trivial split_mem_range() patch.
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260503-x86-init-cleanup-v2-0-bb690bd2477c@xxxxxxxxxx
Changes in v2:
- Simplified patchset, instead of trying to fix confusing code only to
delete it in a subsequent patch, just delete it in the first place.
- Fixed add_pfn_range_mapped() args. (This bug causes a KASAN build to
crash during boot).
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251003-x86-init-cleanup-v1-0-f2b7994c2ad6@xxxxxxxxxx
