Patch series "mm/sparse-vmemmap: Provide generic vmemmap_set_pmd() and vmemmap_check_pmd()", v3. The weak vmemmap_set_pmd() and vmemmap_check_pmd() hooks are currently no-ops in the generic code, which leaves architectures that need PMD-level handling to open-code the same logic locally. This series provides generic implementations for both helpers in mm/sparse-vmemmap.c. vmemmap_set_pmd() installs a huge PMD with PAGE_KERNEL protection, and vmemmap_check_pmd() verifies a present leaf PMD before reusing the existing vmemmap_verify() helper. With those generic helpers in place, patches 2-5 remove the now redundant arch-specific implementations from arm64, riscv, loongarch, and sparc. This patch (of 5): The two weak functions are currently no-ops on every architecture, forcing each platform that needs them to duplicate the same handful of lines. Provide a generic implementation: - vmemmap_set_pmd() simply sets a huge PMD with PAGE_KERNEL protection. - vmemmap_check_pmd() verifies that the PMD is present and leaf, then calls the existing vmemmap_verify() helper. Architectures that need special handling can continue to override the weak symbols; everyone else gets the standard version for free.
