[PATCH v4 2/3] mm: Convert vmemmap_p?d_populate() to static functions
Posted by chengkaitao 1 month, 3 weeks ago 
From: Chengkaitao <chengkaitao@kylinos.cn>

Since the vmemmap_p?d_populate functions are unused outside the mm
subsystem, we can remove their external declarations and convert
them to static functions.
