The patch titled Subject: init,mm: fold late call to page_ext_init() to page_alloc_init_late() has been added to the -mm mm-unstable branch. Its filename is initmm-fold-late-call-to-page_ext_init-to-page_alloc_init_late.patch This patch will shortly appear at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/initmm-fold-late-call-to-page_ext_init-to-page_alloc_init_late.patch This patch will later appear in the mm-unstable branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next via the mm-everything branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm and is updated there every 2-3 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: "Mike Rapoport (IBM)" <rppt@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: init,mm: fold late call to page_ext_init() to page_alloc_init_late() Date: Mon, 20 Mar 2023 00:00:04 +0200 When deferred initialization of struct pages is enabled, page_ext_init() must be called after all the deferred initialization is done, but there is no point to keep it a separate call from kernel_init_freeable() right after page_alloc_init_late(). Fold the call to page_ext_init() into page_alloc_init_late() and localize deferred_struct_pages variable.
