[PATCH 04/10] x86, mm: Don't clear page table if next range is ram

From: Yinghai Lu
Date: Tue Oct 09 2012 - 00:40:09 EST


After we add code use BRK to map buffer for final page table,

It should be safe to remove early_memmap for page table accessing.

But we get panic with that.

It turns out we clear the initial page table wrongly for next range that is
separated by holes.
And it only happens when we are trying to map range one by one range separately.

After we add checking before clearing the related page table, that panic will
not happen anymore.
