[PATCH] mm/pgtable: Move extern zero_pfn outside __HAVE_COLOR_ZERO_PAGE

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



zero_pfn variable is required whether __HAVE_COLOR_ZERO_PAGE is enabled
or not. Also it should not really be declared individually in all functions
where it gets used. Just move the declaration outside, which also makes it
available for other potential users.

Applies on 5.8-rc1. If the earlier motivation was to hide zero_pfn from
general visibility, we could just put in a comment and update the commit
message that my_zero_pfn() should always be used rather than zero_pfn.
Build tested on many platforms and boot tested on arm64, x86.
