You fail to explain why this change which adds 488 additional lines of code is desirable.

However looking at the powerpc patch I have the feeling that this series goes behind its purpose. The number additional lines could be deeply reduced I think if we limit the patches to the strict minimum, ie just do things like below instead of adding lots of handling of useless levels. Instead of doing things like: - pud = NULL; + p4d = NULL; if (pgd_present(*pgd)) - pud = pud_offset(pgd, gpa); + p4d = p4d_offset(pgd, gpa); + else + new_p4d = p4d_alloc_one(kvm->mm, gpa); + + pud = NULL; + if (p4d_present(*p4d)) + pud = pud_offset(p4d, gpa); else new_pud = pud_alloc_one(kvm->mm, gpa); It could be limited to: if (pgd_present(*pgd)) - pud = pud_offset(pgd, gpa); + pud = pud_offset(p4d_offset(pgd, gpa), gpa); else new_pud = pud_alloc_one(kvm->mm, gpa); Christophe

Right, I should have been more explicit about it. As Christophe mentioned in his reply, removing 'HACK' and 'fixup' is an improvement. Another thing is that when all architectures behave the same it opens opportunities for cleaning up repeating definitions of page table manipulation primitives. > -- > RMK's Patch system: https://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/ > FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line in suburbia: sync at 12.1Mbps down 622kbps up > According to speedtest.net: 11.9Mbps down 500kbps up
From: Mike Rapoport <rppt@linux.ibm.com> Hi, These patches convert several architectures to use page table folding and remove __ARCH_HAS_5LEVEL_HACK along with include/asm-generic/5level-fixup.h. The changes are mostly about mechanical replacement of pgd accessors with p4d ones and the addition of higher levels to page table traversals. All the patches were sent separately to the respective arch lists and maintainers hence the "v2" prefix.
