Some interfaces use pte_t * for a software PTE value rather than for an entry stored in a PTE table. These pointers must remain pte_t * when pointers to PTE table storage are converted to hw_pte_t *. Rename these parameters in the install_pte callback, write_protect_page(), and guard_install_set_pte() to ptentp. The later Coccinelle conversion skips pointers named ptentp, allowing it to convert the remaining PTE table pointers without changing these interfaces. Some functions already use ptentp for such pointers, including: - madvise_folio_pte_batch() - folio_pte_batch_flags() No need to rename them. This patch only renames parameters and makes no functional change. Acked-by: David Hildenbrand (Arm) <david@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Muhammad Usama Anjum <redacted>
