------------------------------------------------------ From: Alexander Gordeev agordeev@linux.ibm.com Subject: mm: clean up apply_to_pte_range() Date: Tue, 8 Apr 2025 18:07:31 +0200
Reverse 'create' vs 'mm == &init_mm' conditions and move page table mask modification out of the atomic context. This is a prerequisite for fixing missing kernel page tables lock.
