Commit 0881ace292b662 ("mm/mremap: use pmd/pud_poplulate to update page
table entries") introduced a regression when running as Xen PV guest.
Today pmd/pud_poplulate() for Xen PV assumes that the PFN inserted is
referencing a not yet used page table. In case of move_normal_pmd/pud()
this is not true, resulting in WARN splats like:

Fix that by modifying xen_alloc_ptpage() to only pin the page table in
case it wasn't pinned already.

The description of that change starts with "pmd/pud_populate is the
right interface to be used to set the respective page table entries."
If this is deemed true, I don't think pmd_populate() should call
paravirt_alloc_pte(): The latter function, as its name says, is
supposed to be called for newly allocated page tables only (aiui).

I agree for the PMD part, but is including PUD here really correct?
While I don't know why that is, xen_alloc_ptpage() pins L1 tables
only. Hence a PUD update shouldn't be able to find a pinned L2
table.

In theory you are correct, but my experience with reality tells me that
another set of macros for this case will not be appreciated.

I agree that I should drop mentioning PUD here.
I will do that change when committing in case no other changes are
required.

Perhaps a new parameter to the macros / inlines identifying fresh
vs moved? Or perhaps the offending change wasn't really correct in
what its description said?

The problem is that those macros are spread over all architectures with
each architecture defining them separately. Changing all those will not
be really welcomed.
And the change was correct IMO, as the replaced pmd_set() should be used
for leaf entries only (at least in arch independent code).
pmd_populate() is the correct one for non-leaf entries.
