[PATCH RFC v2 18/20] mm/pgtable: disallow calling folded set_pgd/set_p4d/set_pud with dummy
From: Yeoreum Yun
Date: Wed Jul 22 2026 - 11:49:42 EST
From: "David Hildenbrand (Arm)" <david@xxxxxxxxxx>
Make all code compile-out any calls to set_pgd/set_p4d/set_pud for
folded page tables. So let's make the compiler complain if these helpers
are abused with dummy.
