Okay, it was not explained very well. My bad.

Sure, understood. But the problem here is not with PAGE_SHIFT/PAGE_SIZE
based tests but rather having multiple ways of doing the same thing in
arm64 tree. Please find further explanation below.

PAGE_SHIFT and PAGE_SIZE are derived from CONFIG_ARM64_XXK_PAGES. Hence
why not just directly use the original user selected config option that
eventually decides PAGE_SHIFT and PAGE_SIZE.
config ARM64_PAGE_SHIFT
int
default 16 if ARM64_64K_PAGES
default 14 if ARM64_16K_PAGES
default 12
arch/arm64/include/asm/page-def.h:#define PAGE_SHIFT CONFIG_ARM64_PAGE_SHIFT
arch/arm64/include/asm/page-def.h:#define PAGE_SIZE (_AC(1, UL) << PAGE_SHIFT)
Also there are already similar IS_ENABLED() instances which do not
create much confusion. The point here being, to have just a single
method that checks compiled page size support, instead of three
different ways of doing the same thing.
- IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARM64_XXK_PAGES)
- if (PAGE_SHIFT == XX)
- if (PAGE_SIZE == XX)
$git grep IS_ENABLED arch/arm64/ | grep PAGES
arch/arm64/include/asm/vmalloc.h: return IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARM64_4K_PAGES) &&
arch/arm64/mm/mmu.c: BUG_ON(!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARM64_16K_PAGES));
arch/arm64/mm/mmu.c: BUG_ON(!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARM64_16K_PAGES));

Sure, will drop it from the series if the above explanation and
the rationale for the patch still does not convince you.
