[PATCH v3 1/4] mm/debug_vm_pgtable: remove pte entry from the page table

From: Pasha Tatashin
Date: Wed Jan 26 2022 - 01:05:32 EST


The pte entry that is used in pte_advanced_tests() is never removed from
the page table at the end of the test.

The issue is detected by page_table_check, to repro compile kernel with
the following configs:

CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE=y
CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_CHECK=y
CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_CHECK_ENFORCED=y

During the boot the following BUG is printed:

[ 2.262821] debug_vm_pgtable: [debug_vm_pgtable ]: Validating
architecture page table helpers
[ 2.276826] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[ 2.280426] kernel BUG at mm/page_table_check.c:162!
[ 2.284118] invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP PTI
[ 2.287787] CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted

BIOS rel-1.15.0-0-g2dd4b9b3f840-prebuilt.qemu.org

...

The entry should be properly removed from the page table before the page
is released to the free list.
