[PATCH 2/2] x86,mem-hotplug: modify PGD entry when removing memory

From: Yasuaki Ishimatsu
Date: Wed Jun 18 2014 - 02:41:53 EST


When hot-adding/removing memory, sync_global_pgds() is called for
synchronizing PGD to PGD entries of all processes MM. But when
hot-removing memory, sync_global_pgds() does not work correctly.

At first, sync_global_pgds() checks whether target PGD is none or not.
And if PGD is none, the PGD is skipped. But when hot-removing memory,
PGD may be none since PGD may be cleared by free_pud_table(). So
when sync_global_pgds() is called after hot-removing memory,
sync_global_pgds() should not skip PGD even if the PGD is none.
And sync_global_pgds() must clear PGD entries of all processes MM.

Currently sync_global_pgds() does not clear PGD entries of all processes
MM when hot-removing memory. So when hot adding memory which is same memory
range as removed memory after hot-removing memory, following call traces
are shown:

This patch clears PGD entries of all processes MM when sync_global_pgds()
is called after hot-removing memory
