[PATCH 1/2] x86/vmemmap: Remove !PAGE_ALIGNED case in remove_pte_table

From: Oscar Salvador
Date: Tue Feb 02 2021 - 06:28:54 EST


remove_pte_table() is prepared to handle the case where either the
start or the end of the range is not PAGE aligned.
This cannot actually happen:

__populate_section_memmap enforces the range to be PMD aligned,
so as long as the size of the struct page remains multiple of 8,
the vmemmap range will be aligned to PAGE_SIZE.

Drop the unneeded handling of such case and place a VM_BUG_ON in
vmemmap_{populate,free} to catch nasty cases.
