Subject: [PATCH v3 3/6] mm/vmalloc: Extract vmap_set_ptes() to consolidate PTE mapping logic

From: Wen Jiang <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 22 May 2026 13:31:43 +0800

Extract the common PTE mapping logic from vmap_pte_range() into a
shared helper vmap_set_ptes(). This handles both CONT_PTE and regular
PTE mappings in a single function, preparing for the next patch which
will extend vmap_pages_pte_range() to also use this helper.

The #ifdef CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE guard is moved inside vmap_set_ptes(),
so callers no longer need to handle the conditional compilation.
