Subject: [PATCH] x86, mm: do not leak page->ptl for pmd page tables
Date: Wed, 20 Nov 2013 15:36:58 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1384954618-17783-1-git-send-email-kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com> (raw)
There are two code paths how page with pmd page table can be freed:
pmd_free() and pmd_free_tlb().
I've missed the second one and didn't add page table destructor call
there. It leads to leak of page->ptl for pmd page tables, if dynamically
allocated page->ptl is in use.
The patch adds the missed destructor and modifies documentation
accordingly.

PMD split lock enabling requires pgtable_pmd_page_ctor() call on PMD table
allocation and pgtable_pmd_page_dtor() on freeing.
-Allocation usually happens in pmd_alloc_one(), freeing in pmd_free(), but
