Parent article: Four-level page tables

First line, below, needed for completeness.

  
pgd = pgd_offset(address);  
pmd = pmd_offset(pgd, address);  
pte = *pte_offset_map(pmd, address);  
page = pte_page(pte);

From the kernel code, the first line is actually two lines:

struct mm_struct *mm = current->mm;
pgd = pgd_offset(mm, address);
