Subject: [RFC] asm-generic/tlb: stub out pmd_free_tlb() if __PAGETABLE_PMD_FOLDED

Message-ID: <20191011223818.7238-1-vgupta@synopsys.com> (raw)

This is inine with similar patches for nopud [1] and nop4d [2] cases.

  However I'm not really sure I understand clearly how the nopmd code is
  supposed to work (for a 2 tier paging system) - hence the RFC.
  Consider free_pmd_range() simplified/annotated below

  free_pmd_range
  ...
	pmd = pmd_offset(pud, addr);
	do {
		next = pmd_addr_end(addr, end);
		if (pmd_none_or_clear_bad(pmd)) => *pmd_bad()/pmd_clear_bad() [a]*
			continue;
		free_pte_range(tlb, pmd, addr);
	} while (pmd++, addr = next, addr != end);
   ...
	*pmd_free_tlb(tlb, pmd, start); => [b]*

   For ARC/nopmd case [a] is actually checking pgd and consequently
   pmd_clear_bad() can't be stubbed out for PMD_FOLDED case. However it seems
   case [b] can be stubbed out (hence this patch) along same lines as [1] and [2]
