Subject: [PATCH v3] arm64: Restrict pagetable teardown to avoid false warning
Date: Tue, 27 May 2025 13:56:33 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250527082633.61073-1-dev.jain@arm.com> (raw)

Commit 9c006972c3fe removes the pxd_present() checks because the caller
checks pxd_present(). But, in case of vmap_try_huge_pud(), the caller only
checks pud_present(); pud_free_pmd_page() recurses on each pmd through
pmd_free_pte_page(), wherein the pmd may be none. Thus it is possible to
hit a warning in the latter, since pmd_none => !pmd_table(). Thus, add
a pmd_present() check in pud_free_pmd_page().

This problem was found by code inspection.

Fixes: 9c006972c3fe (arm64: mmu: drop pXd_present() checks from pXd_free_pYd_table())

This patch is based on 6.15-rc6.

v2->v3:
 - Use pmdp_get()

v1->v2:
 - Enforce check in caller
