[PATCH v4 3/5] arm64: mm: support batch clearing of the young flag for large folios

Mon Dec 22 21:48:37 PST 2025


Currently, contpte_ptep_test_and_clear_young() and contpte_ptep_clear_flush_young()
only clear the young flag and flush TLBs for PTEs within the contiguous range.
To support batch PTE operations for other sized large folios in the following
patches, adding a new parameter to specify the number of PTEs that map consecutive
pages of the same large folio in a single VMA and a single page table.

While we are at it, rename the functions to maintain consistency with other
contpte_*() functions.
