[PATCH 02/13] mm/gup: Cache p4d in follow_p4d_mask()

From: peterx@redhat.com
Date: 2024-03-13 21:47:27
Also in: linux-arm-kernel, lkml, sparclinux
Subsystem: memory management, memory management - gup (get user pages), the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, David Hildenbrand, Linus Torvalds

From: Peter Xu <peterx@redhat.com>

Add a variable to cache p4d in follow_p4d_mask().  It's a good practise to
make sure all the following checks will have a consistent view of the entry.
