From: Alex Shi <alexs@xxxxxxxxxx> We have struct ptdesc for page table descriptor a year ago, but it has no much usages in kernel, while pgtable_t is used widely. The pgtable_t is typedefed as 'pte_t *' in sparc, s390, powerpc and m68k except SUN3, others archs are all same as 'struct page *'. These blocks the conception and code update for page table descriptor to struct ptdesc. So, the simple idea to push the ptdesc conception forward is to update all pgtable_t by ptdesc or pte_t pointer. But this needs widely knowledges for most all of different archs. Common code change is easy for include/ and mm/ directory, but it's hard in all archs. Thanks for intel LKP framework, I fixed most all of build issues except a bug on powerpc which reports a "struct ptdesc *" incompatible with struct ptdesc *' pointer issue... Another trouble is pmd_pgtable() conversion in the last patch. Maybe some of arch need define theirself own pmd_ptdesc()? This patchset is immature, even except above 2 issues, I just tested virutal machine booting and kselftest mm on x86 and arm64. Anyway any input are appreciated!
