Yes. It is not relative to DEBUG_PAGEALLOC.
I just think it is small change, so do not break down it.
But it is not right.

I will separate it.

Yes. It seems to be verbose when offset is 0. I want to use existed macro.
I think i had other two options.
First, directly get the physical address just like that:

pmd_val(*pmd) & PHYS_MASK & (s32)PAGE_MASK

or

pte_pfn(pmd_pte(*pmd)) << PAGE_SHIFT

Maybe the front one is better.

As for this issue, i have no performance data. But you can check the implementation of flush_tlb_kernel_range.
when the pages size to be flushed is over MAX_TLB_RANGE, it will call __flush_tlb_kernel_range; otherwise, same as
flush_tlb_all. I think someone had evaluated the performance difference.

There is no pageattr.c for ARMv8. In X86, it exists.

I just want to make __split_pud_page_mapping more concise and just for the split from pud to pmd.
