mm/debug_vm_pgtable: remove pte entry from the page table
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
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:

  debug_vm_pgtable: [debug_vm_pgtable         ]: Validating architecture page table helpers
  ------------[ cut here ]------------
  kernel BUG at mm/page_table_check.c:162!
  invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP PTI
  CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 5.16.0-11413-g2c271fe77d52 #3
  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.
