[PATCH 2/3] x86, mm: Don't clear page table if next range is ram

From: Yinghai Lu
Date: Sat Oct 06 2012 - 03:45:08 EST


During adding code from BRK to map buffer for final page table,

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

But get panic after 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.

After checking before clearing the related page table to fix the problem.
