[PATCH v2 4/4] mm: Don't skip arch_sync_kernel_mappings() in error paths

From: Ryan Roberts
Date: Mon Feb 17 2025 - 09:08:05 EST


Fix callers that previously skipped calling arch_sync_kernel_mappings()
if an error occurred during a pgtable update. The call is still required
to sync any pgtable updates that may have occurred prior to hitting the
error condition.

These are theoretical bugs discovered during code review.
