Regardless of whether CONFIG_ARM_LPAE is enabled or not, the same page table freeing functions __pte_free_tlb() and __pmd_free_tlb() are used. Non-LPAE PMD page tables are folded into the PGD and freed by pgd_free() (PGD freeing is not part of mmu_gather page table freeing in any case), so this is a noop in this case. Since commit 358d1c39c82a ("arm: convert various functions to use ptdescs") both LPAE and non-LPAE PTE page table freeing uses tlb_remove_ptdesc(). Thus all page table freeing is performed under RCU with CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE enabled for LPAE and non-LPAE and thus it need not be gated on LPAE. A UP arm system can set CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU, so a future pure RCU page table walker requires MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE to be enabled on UP as well, even if concurrent GUP fast is not possible there. Therefore, it is both safe and desirable to set CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE for all MMU arm architectures (nommu does not perform mmu_gather operations). This forms part of an overall effort to switch every architecture to this mode.
