Those functions can actually be made static. But I will do that as a
part of different patch. I will update this patch and make sure the
 #ifdef will only override the vmemmap_populate_compound_pages.

Should vmemmap_pte_populate() be static ?

It looks odd to exclude a non-static function based on a non related macro.

There are several such function in the block being excluded here. Can 
you explain why it is correct to do that ?

[PATCH v4 04/13] mm/vmemmap: Allow architectures to override how vmemmap optimization works

2023-07-10 Thread Aneesh Kumar K.V
Architectures like powerpc will like to use different page table allocators
and mapping mechanisms to implement vmemmap optimization. Similar to
vmemmap_populate allow architectures to implement
vmemap_populate_compound_pages
