[PATCH RFC 13/14] mm: introduce and use vm_normal_page_pud()

From: David Hildenbrand
Date: Tue Jun 17 2025 - 11:50:39 EST


Let's introduce vm_normal_page_pud(), which ends up being fairly simple
because of our new common helpers and there not being a PUD-sized zero
folio.

Use vm_normal_page_pud() in folio_walk_start() to resolve a TODO,
structuring the code like the other (pmd/pte) cases. Defer
introducing vm_normal_folio_pud() until really used.
