------------------------------------------------------ From: Pasha Tatashin pasha.tatashin@soleen.com Subject: mm/debug_vm_pgtable: remove pte entry from the page table
Patch series "page table check fixes and cleanups", v5.
This patch (of 4):
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 5.16.0-11413-g2c271fe77d52 #3 [ 2.293226] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS rel-1.15.0-0-g2dd4b9b3f840-prebuilt.qemu.org 04/01/2014 ...
The entry should be properly removed from the page table before the page is released to the free list.
