[PATCH v5 12/17] x86: pgtable: move pagetable_dtor() to __tlb_remove_table()

From: Qi Zheng
Date: Wed Jan 08 2025 - 02:03:14 EST


Move pagetable_dtor() to __tlb_remove_table(), so that ptlock and page
table pages can be freed together (regardless of whether RCU is used).
This prevents the use-after-free problem where the ptlock is freed
immediately but the page table pages is freed later via RCU.
