Subject: [PATCH v4 3/3] x86/vmemmap: Handle unpopulated sub-pmd ranges
Date: Mon,  1 Mar 2021 09:32:30 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210301083230.30924-4-osalvador@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210301083230.30924-1-osalvador@suse.de>

When the size of a struct page is not multiple of 2MB, sections do
not span a PMD anymore and so when populating them some parts of the
PMD will remain unused.
Because of this, PMDs will be left behind when depopulating sections
since remove_pmd_table() thinks that those unused parts are still in
use.

Fix this by marking the unused parts with PAGE_UNUSED, so memchr_inv()
will do the right thing and will let us free the PMD when the last user
of it is gone.

This patch is based on a similar patch by David Hildenbrand:
