That's not as obvious as one might think initially. set_pte_at needs to be defined after set_pte but before clear_pte which is calling set_pte_at. Of both set_pte and clear_pte there are two #ifdefd variants. set_pte_at is a fairly small function only but it's invoked quite a few times so I was a little concerned about the effect on I'm experimenting with outlining set_pte_at entirely. ip22_defconfig with the patch applied as posted; this is the effect on code size. text data bss dec hex filename 3790118 175304 84544 4049966 3dcc2e vmlinux as posted 3789062 175304 84544 4048910 3dc80e vmlinux set_pte_at outlined Ralf
