Yea, this is messy. I tried having temporary flags, but that's basically
where we came from with the old 'type' thing which used to be
RADIX_DAX_PTE|RADIX_DAX_PMD.
After playing with it a bit it seems like the cleanest way is to have a little
flag test helper, like this:
static int dax_flag_test(void *entry, int flags)
{
return (unsigned long)entry & flags;
}
...
/*
* Besides huge zero pages the only other thing that gets
* downgraded are empty entries which don't need to be
* unmapped.
*/
if (pmd_downgrade && dax_flag_test(entry, RADIX_DAX_HZP))
unmap_mapping_range(mapping,
(index << PAGE_SHIFT) & PMD_MASK, PMD_SIZE, 0);
etc. Please let me know if this is undesirable for some reason. Vs keeping
the flags in a local variable, this is good because a) it doesn't require
callers to cast, and b) it makes operator precedence easy because the flags
are a param, so no "flags & (flag1|flag2)" nesting, and c) we don't keep a
local variable that could get out of sync with 'entry'.
