[PATCH v1 9/9] mm: Use unmap_desc struct for freeing page tables.

Liam R. Howlett Liam.Howlett at oracle.com
Tue Sep 9 12:09:45 PDT 2025


Pass through the unmap_desc to free_pgtables() because it almost has
everything necessary and is already on the stack.

Updates testing code as necessary.

No functional changes intended.
