mm/hugetlb: fix copy_hugetlb_page_range() to use ->pt_share_count
commit 59d9094df3d79 ("mm: hugetlb: independent PMD page table shared
count") introduced ->pt_share_count dedicated to hugetlb PMD share count
tracking, but omitted fixing copy_hugetlb_page_range(), leaving the
function relying on page_count() for tracking that no longer works.
When lazy page table copy for hugetlb is disabled, that is, revert commit bcd51a3c679d ("hugetlb: lazy page table copies in fork()") fork()'ing with
hugetlb PMD sharing quickly lockup -
There are two options to resolve the potential latent issue:
1. warn against PMD sharing in copy_hugetlb_page_range(),
2. fix it.
This patch opts for the second option.

hung_task: fix warnings caused by unaligned lock pointers
The blocker tracking mechanism assumes that lock pointers are at least
4-byte aligned to use their lower bits for type encoding.
However, as reported by Eero Tamminen, some architectures like m68k
only guarantee 2-byte alignment of 32-bit values. This breaks the
assumption and causes two related WARN_ON_ONCE checks to trigger.
To fix this, the runtime checks are adjusted to silently ignore any lock
that is not 4-byte aligned, effectively disabling the feature in such
cases and avoiding the related warnings.

When the kobject of the kset for /sys/fs/nilfs2 is initialized, its ktype
is set to kset_ktype, which has a ->sysfs_ops of kobj_sysfs_ops. When
nilfs_feature_attr_group is added to that kobject via
sysfs_create_group(), the kernfs_ops of each files is sysfs_file_kfops_rw,
which will call sysfs_kf_seq_show() when ->seq_show() is called.
sysfs_kf_seq_show() in turn calls kobj_attr_show() through
->sysfs_ops->show(). kobj_attr_show() casts the provided attribute out to
a 'struct kobj_attribute' via container_of() and calls ->show(), resulting
in the CFI violation since neither nilfs_feature_revision_show() nor

Resolve the CFI violation by adjusting the second parameter in
nilfs_feature_{revision,README}_show() from 'struct attribute' to 'struct
kobj_attribute' to match the expected prototype.

mm/damon/sysfs: use dynamically allocated repeat mode damon_call_control
Patch series "mm/damon/sysfs: fix refresh_ms control overwriting on
multi-kdamonds usages".
Automatic esssential DAMON/DAMOS status update feature of DAMON sysfs
interface (refresh_ms) is broken [1] for multiple DAMON contexts
(kdamonds) use case, since it uses a global single damon_call_control
object for all created DAMON contexts. The fields of the object,
particularly the list field is over-written for the contexts and it makes
unexpected results including user-space hangup and kernel crashes [2].
Fix it by extending damon_call_control for the use case and updating the
usage on DAMON sysfs interface to use per-context dynamically allocated
damon_call_control object.
This patch (of 2):
DAMON sysfs interface is using a single global repeat mode
damon_call_control variable for refresh_ms handling, for all DAMON
contexts. As a result, when there are more than one context, the single
global damon_call_control is unexpectedly over-written (corrupted).
Particularly the ->link field is overwritten by the multiple contexts and
this can cause a user hangup, and/or a kernel crash. Fix it by using
dynamically allocated damon_call_control object per DAMON context.
When damon_call_control->repeat is set, damon_call() is executed
asynchronously, and eventually be canceled when kdamond finishes. If the
damon_call_control object is dynamically allocated, hence, finding the
place to deallocate the object is difficult. Introduce a new
damon_call_control field, namely dealloc_on_cancel, to ask the kdamond
deallocates those dynamically allocated objects when those are canceled.

mm/swap.c and mm/mlock.c agree to drain any per-CPU batch as soon as a
large folio is added: so collect_longterm_unpinnable_folios() just wastes
effort when calling lru_add_drain[_all]() on a large folio.
But although there is good reason not to batch up PMD-sized folios, we
might well benefit from batching a small number of low-order mTHPs (though
unclear how that "small number" limitation will be implemented).
So ask if folio_may_be_lru_cached() rather than !folio_test_large(), to
insulate those particular checks from future change. Name preferred to
"folio_is_batchable" because large folios can well be put on a batch: it's
just the per-CPU LRU caches, drained much later, which need care.

mm: revert "mm/gup: clear the LRU flag of a page before adding to LRU batch"
This reverts commit 33dfe9204f29: now that
collect_longterm_unpinnable_folios() is checking ref_count instead of lru,
and mlock/munlock do not participate in the revised LRU flag clearing,
those changes are misleading, and enlarge the window during which
mlock/munlock may miss an mlock_count update.
It is possible (I'd hesitate to claim probable) that the greater
likelihood of missed mlock_count updates would explain the "Realtime
threads delayed due to kcompactd0" observed on 6.12 in the Link below. If
that is the case, this reversion will help; but a complete solution needs
also a further patch, beyond the scope of this series.
Included some 80-column cleanup around folio_batch_add_and_move().
The role of folio_test_clear_lru() (before taking per-memcg lru_lock) is
questionable since 6.13 removed mem_cgroup_move_account() etc; but perhaps
there are still some races which need it - not examined here.

mm/gup: check ref_count instead of lru before migration
Patch series "mm: better GUP pin lru_add_drain_all()", v2.
Series of lru_add_drain_all()-related patches, arising from recent mm/gup
migration report from Will Deacon.
This patch (of 6):
Will Deacon reports:-
When taking a longterm GUP pin via pin_user_pages(),
__gup_longterm_locked() tries to migrate target folios that should not be
longterm pinned, for example because they reside in a CMA region or
movable zone. This is done by first pinning all of the target folios
anyway, collecting all of the longterm-unpinnable target folios into a
list, dropping the pins that were just taken and finally handing the list
off to migrate_pages() for the actual migration.
It is critically important that no unexpected references are held on the
folios being migrated, otherwise the migration will fail and
pin_user_pages() will return -ENOMEM to its caller. Unfortunately, it is
relatively easy to observe migration failures when running pKVM (which
uses pin_user_pages() on crosvm's virtual address space to resolve stage-2
page faults from the guest) on a 6.15-based Pixel 6 device and this
results in the VM terminating prematurely.
In the failure case, 'crosvm' has called mlock(MLOCK_ONFAULT) on its
mapping of guest memory prior to the pinning. Subsequently, when
pin_user_pages() walks the page-table, the relevant 'pte' is not present
and so the faulting logic allocates a new folio, mlocks it with
mlock_folio() and maps it in the page-table.
Since commit 2fbb0c10d1e8 ("mm/munlock: mlock_page() munlock_page() batch
by pagevec"), mlock/munlock operations on a folio (formerly page), are
deferred. For example, mlock_folio() takes an additional reference on the
target folio before placing it into a per-cpu 'folio_batch' for later
processing by mlock_folio_batch(), which drops the refcount once the
operation is complete. Processing of the batches is coupled with the LRU
batch logic and can be forcefully drained with lru_add_drain_all() but as
long as a folio remains unprocessed on the batch, its refcount will be
elevated.
This deferred batching therefore interacts poorly with the pKVM pinning
scenario as we can find ourselves in a situation where the migration code
fails to migrate a folio due to the elevated refcount from the pending
mlock operation.
Hugh Dickins adds:-
!folio_test_lru() has never been a very reliable way to tell if an
lru_add_drain_all() is worth calling, to remove LRU cache references to
make the folio migratable: the LRU flag may be set even while the folio is
held with an extra reference in a per-CPU LRU cache.
5.18 commit 2fbb0c10d1e8 may have made it more unreliable. Then 6.11
commit 33dfe9204f29 ("mm/gup: clear the LRU flag of a page before adding
to LRU batch") tried to make it reliable, by moving LRU flag clearing; but
missed the mlock/munlock batches, so still unreliable as reported.
And it turns out to be difficult to extend 33dfe9204f29's LRU flag
clearing to the mlock/munlock batches: if they do benefit from batching,
mlock/munlock cannot be so effective when easily suppressed while !LRU.
Instead, switch to an expected ref_count check, which was more reliable
all along: some more false positives (unhelpful drains) than before, and
never a guarantee that the folio will prove migratable, but better.
Note on PG_private_2: ceph and nfs are still using the deprecated
PG_private_2 flag, with the aid of netfs and filemap support functions.
Although it is consistently matched by an increment of folio ref_count,
folio_expected_ref_count() intentionally does not recognize it, and ceph
folio migration currently depends on that for PG_private_2 folios to be
rejected. New references to the deprecated flag are discouraged, so do
not add it into the collect_longterm_unpinnable_folios() calculation: but
longterm pinning of transiently PG_private_2 ceph and nfs folios (an
uncommon case) may invoke a redundant lru_add_drain_all(). And this makes
easy the backport to earlier releases: up to and including 6.12, btrfs
also used PG_private_2, but without a ref_count increment.
Note for stable backports: requires 6.16 commit 86ebd50224c0 ("mm:
add folio_expected_ref_count() for reference count calculation").

kasan_populate_vmalloc() and its helpers ignore the caller's gfp_mask and
always allocate memory using the hardcoded GFP_KERNEL flag. This makes
them inconsistent with vmalloc(), which was recently extended to support
GFP_NOFS and GFP_NOIO allocations.
Page table allocations performed during shadow population also ignore the
external gfp_mask. To preserve the intended semantics of GFP_NOFS and
GFP_NOIO, wrap the apply_to_page_range() calls into the appropriate
memalloc scope.
xfs calls vmalloc with GFP_NOFS, so this bug could lead to deadlock.
There was a report here
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/686ea951.050a0220.385921.0016.GAE@google.com
This patch:
- Extends kasan_populate_vmalloc() and helpers to take gfp_mask;
- Passes gfp_mask down to alloc_pages_bulk() and __get_free_page();
- Enforces GFP_NOFS/NOIO semantics with memalloc_*_save()/restore()
around apply_to_page_range();
- Updates vmalloc.c and percpu allocator call sites accordingly.

ocfs2_fiemap() takes a read lock of the ip_alloc_sem semaphore (since v2.6.22-527-g7307de80510a) and calls fiemap_fill_next_extent() to read the
extent list of this running mmap executable. The user supplied buffer to
hold the fiemap information page faults calling ocfs2_page_mkwrite() which
will take a write lock (since v2.6.27-38-g00dc417fa3e7) of the same
semaphore. This recursive semaphore will hold filesystem locks and causes
a hang of the fileystem.
The ip_alloc_sem protects the inode extent list and size. Release the
read semphore before calling fiemap_fill_next_extent() in ocfs2_fiemap()
and ocfs2_fiemap_inline(). This does an unnecessary semaphore lock/unlock
on the last extent but simplifies the error path.

The root cause is that unpoison_memory() tries to check the PG_HWPoison
flags of an uninitialized page. So VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PagePoisoned(page)) is
triggered. This can be reproduced by below steps:
This scenario can be identified by pfn_to_online_page() returning NULL.
And ZONE_DEVICE pages are never expected, so we can simply fail if
pfn_to_online_page() == NULL to fix the bug.

mm/mremap: fix regression in vrm->new_addr check
Commit 3215eaceca87 ("mm/mremap: refactor initial parameter sanity
checks") moved the sanity check for vrm->new_addr from mremap_to() to
check_mremap_params().
However, this caused a regression as vrm->new_addr is now checked even
when MREMAP_FIXED and MREMAP_DONTUNMAP flags are not specified. In this
case, vrm->new_addr can be garbage and create unexpected failures.
Fix this by moving the new_addr check after the vrm_implies_new_addr()
guard. This ensures that the new_addr is only checked when the user has
specified one explicitly.

percpu: fix race on alloc failed warning limit
The 'allocation failed, ...' warning messages can cause unlimited log
spam, contrary to the implementation's intent.
The warn_limit variable is accessed without synchronization. If more than
<warn_limit> threads enter the warning path at the same time, the variable
will get decremented past 0. Once it becomes negative, the non-zero check
will always return true leading to unlimited log spam.
Use atomic operation to access warn_limit and change condition to test for
non-negative (>= 0) - atomic_dec_if_positive will return -1 once
warn_limit becomes 0. Continue to print disable message alongside the
last warning.
While the change cited in Fixes is only adjacent, the warning limit

mm/damon/core: set quota->charged_from to jiffies at first charge window

#define INITIAL_JIFFIES ((unsigned long)(unsigned int) (-300*HZ))

cover wraparound
#define time_after_eq(a,b) \

When quota->charged_from is initialized to 0, time_after_eq() can
incorrectly return FALSE even after reset_interval has elapsed. This
occurs when (jiffies - reset_interval) produces a value with MSB=1, which
is interpreted as negative in signed arithmetic.
This issue primarily affects 32-bit systems because: On 64-bit systems:
MSB=1 values occur after ~292 million years from boot (assuming HZ=1000),
almost impossible.
On 32-bit systems: MSB=1 values occur during the first 5 minutes after
boot, and the second half of every jiffies wraparound cycle, starting from
day 25 (assuming HZ=1000)
When above unexpected FALSE return from time_after_eq() occurs, the
charging window will not reset. The user impact depends on esz value at
that time.
If esz is 0, scheme ignores configured quotas and runs without any limits.
If esz is not 0, scheme stops working once the quota is exhausted. It
remains until the charging window finally resets.
So, change quota->charged_from to jiffies at damos_adjust_quota() when it
is considered as the first charge window. By this change, we can avoid
unexpected FALSE return from time_after_eq()

mm/hugetlb: add missing hugetlb_lock in __unmap_hugepage_range()
When restoring a reservation for an anonymous page, we need to check to
freeing a surplus. However, __unmap_hugepage_range() causes data race
because it reads h->surplus_huge_pages without the protection of
hugetlb_lock.
And adjust_reservation is a boolean variable that indicates whether
reservations for anonymous pages in each folio should be restored.
Therefore, it should be initialized to false for each round of the loop.
However, this variable is not initialized to false except when defining
the current adjust_reservation variable.
This means that once adjust_reservation is set to true even once within
the loop, reservations for anonymous pages will be restored
unconditionally in all subsequent rounds, regardless of the folio's state.
To fix this, we need to add the missing hugetlb_lock, unlock the
page_table_lock earlier so that we don't lock the hugetlb_lock inside the
page_table_lock lock, and initialize adjust_reservation to false on each
round within the loop.

To solve this problem, switch to printk_safe mode before printing warning
message, this will redirect all printk()-s to a special per-CPU buffer,
which will be flushed later from a safe context (irq work), and this
deadlock problem can be avoided. The proper API to use should be
printk_deferred_enter()/printk_deferred_exit() [2]. Another way is to
place the warn print after kmemleak is released.

ALSA: usb-audio: Allow Focusrite devices to use low samplerates
Commit 05f254a6369ac020fc0382a7cbd3ef64ad997c92 ("ALSA: usb-audio:
Improve filtering of sample rates on Focusrite devices") changed the
check for max_rate in a way which was overly restrictive, forcing
devices to use very high samplerates if they support them, despite
support existing for lower rates as well.
This maintains the intended outcome (ensuring samplerates selected are
supported) while allowing devices with higher maximum samplerates to be
opened at all supported samplerates.
This patch was tested with a Clarett+ 8Pre USB

UAPI provides for this.
The tasdev_load_calibrated_data() function expects the calibration data

KVM: arm64: nv: Fix ATS12 handling of single-stage translation
Volodymyr reports that using a Xen DomU as a nested guest (where
HCR_EL2.E2H == 0), ATS12 results in a translation that stops at
the L2's S1, which isn't something you'd normally expects.
Comparing the code against the spec proves to be illuminating,
and suggests that the author of such code must have been tired,
cross-eyed, drunk, or maybe all of the above.
The gist of it is that, apart from HCR_EL2.VM or HCR_EL2.DC being
0, only the use of the EL2&0 translation regime limits the walk
to S1 only, and that we must finish the S2 walk in any other case.
Which solves the above issue, as E2H==0 indicates that ATS12 walks
the EL1&0 translation regime.

Volodymyr reports (again!) that under some circumstances (E2H==0,
walking S1 PTs), PAR_EL1 doesn't report the value of the latest
walk in the CPU register, but that instead the value is written to
the backing store.
Further investigation indicates that the root cause of this is
that a group of registers (PAR_EL1, TPIDR*_EL{0,1}, the *32_EL2 dregs)
should always be considered as "on CPU", as they are not remapped
between EL1 and EL2.
We fail to treat them accordingly, and end-up considering that
the register (PAR_EL1 in this example) should be written to memory
instead of in the register.
While it would be possible to quickly work around it, it is obvious
that the way we track these things at the moment is pretty horrible,
and could do with some improvement.
Revamp the whole thing by:
- defining a location for a register (memory, cpu), potentially
depending on the state of the vcpu
- define a transformation for this register (mapped register, potential
translation, special register needing some particular attention)
- convey this information in a structure that can be easily passed
around
As a result, the accessors themselves become much simpler, as the
state is explicit instead of being driven by hard-to-understand
conventions.
We get rid of the "pure EL2 register" notion, which wasn't very
useful, and add sanitisation of the values by applying the RESx
masks as required, something that was missing so far.
And of course, we add the missing registers to the list, with the
indication that they are always loaded.

ALSA: hda: Avoid binding with SOF for SKL/KBL platforms
For Intel SKL and KBL platforms, it may be bound with one of three
HD-audio drivers (AVS, SOF and legacy). AVS is the preferred one when
DMIC is detected, and that's how it's defined in the snd-intel-dspcfg
config table.
But, when AVS driver is disabled (CONFIG_SND_SOC_INTEL_AVS=n), the
device may be bound freely with either SOF or legacy driver.
Before 6.17, the legacy driver took it primarily, but on 6.17, likely
due to the recent code shuffling, SOF driver seems taking it at first,
and fails to probe. For avoiding the regression, we should enforce to
bind those with the legacy HD-audio drvier when AVS is disabled.
This patch adds the extra two entries in intel-dspcfg table that are
applied only when CONFIG_SND_SOC_INTEL_AVS=n, for binding with the
legacy driver.
Note that there are entries for APL in that config table block, but
APL may be supported by SOF for certain setups, so the choice can't be
exclusive. Hence this patch includes only SKL and KBL.

ublk selftests: add --no_ublk_fixed_fd for not using registered ublk char device
Add a new command line option --no_ublk_fixed_fd that excludes the ublk
control device (/dev/ublkcN) from io_uring's registered files array.
When this option is used, only backing files are registered starting
from index 1, while the ublk control device is accessed using its raw
file descriptor.
Add ublk_get_registered_fd() helper function that returns the appropriate
file descriptor for use with io_uring operations.
Key optimizations implemented:
- Cache UBLKS_Q_NO_UBLK_FIXED_FD flag in ublk_queue.flags to avoid
reading dev->no_ublk_fixed_fd in fast path
- Cache ublk char device fd in ublk_queue.ublk_fd for fast access

WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 135 at drivers/block/ublk_drv.c:1933 ublk_ch_release+0x423/0x4b0 [ublk_drv]
This happens when the daemon is abruptly killed:
- some references may still be held, because registering IO buffer
doesn't grab ublk char device reference
OR
- io->task_registered_buffers won't be cleared because io buffer is
released from non-daemon context
For zero-copy and auto buffer register modes, I/O reference crosses
syscalls, so IO reference may not be dropped naturally when ublk server is
killed abruptly. However, when releasing io_uring context, it is guaranteed
that the reference is dropped finally, see io_sqe_buffers_unregister() from
io_ring_ctx_free().
Fix this by adding ublk_drain_io_references() that:
- Waits for active I/O references dropped in async way by scheduling
work function, for avoiding ublk dev and io_uring file's release
dependency
- Reinitializes io->ref and io->task_registered_buffers to clean state
This ensures the reference count state is clean when ublk_queue_reinit()
is called, preventing the warning and potential use-after-free.

io_uring/kbuf: always use READ_ONCE() to read ring provided buffer lengths

READ_ONCE() to read the value into a local variable, and use that for

avoids worrying about it changing after checking, or being read multiple

Similarly, the buffer may well change in between it being picked and

mm: introduce and use {pgd,p4d}_populate_kernel()
Introduce and use {pgd,p4d}_populate_kernel() in core MM code when
populating PGD and P4D entries for the kernel address space. These
helpers ensure proper synchronization of page tables when updating the
kernel portion of top-level page tables.
Until now, the kernel has relied on each architecture to handle
synchronization of top-level page tables in an ad-hoc manner. For
example, see commit 9b861528a801 ("x86-64, mem: Update all PGDs for direct
mapping and vmemmap mapping changes").
However, this approach has proven fragile for following reasons:
1) It is easy to forget to perform the necessary page table
synchronization when introducing new changes.
For instance, commit 4917f55b4ef9 ("mm/sparse-vmemmap: improve memory
savings for compound devmaps") overlooked the need to synchronize
page tables for the vmemmap area.
2) It is also easy to overlook that the vmemmap and direct mapping areas
must not be accessed before explicit page table synchronization.
For example, commit 8d400913c231 ("x86/vmemmap: handle unpopulated
sub-pmd ranges")) caused crashes by accessing the vmemmap area
before calling sync_global_pgds().
To address this, as suggested by Dave Hansen, introduce _kernel() variants
of the page table population helpers, which invoke architecture-specific
hooks to properly synchronize page tables. These are introduced in a new
header file, include/linux/pgalloc.h, so they can be called from common
code.
They reuse existing infrastructure for vmalloc and ioremap.
Synchronization requirements are determined by ARCH_PAGE_TABLE_SYNC_MASK,
and the actual synchronization is performed by
arch_sync_kernel_mappings().
This change currently targets only x86_64, so only PGD and P4D level
helpers are introduced. Currently, these helpers are no-ops since no
architecture sets PGTBL_{PGD,P4D}_MODIFIED in ARCH_PAGE_TABLE_SYNC_MASK.
In theory, PUD and PMD level helpers can be added later if needed by other
architectures. For now, 32-bit architectures (x86-32 and arm) only handle
PGTBL_PMD_MODIFIED, so p*d_populate_kernel() will never affect them unless
we introduce a PMD level helper.

mm: move page table sync declarations to linux/pgtable.h
During our internal testing, we started observing intermittent boot
failures when the machine uses 4-level paging and has a large amount of
persistent memory:
It turns out that the kernel panics while initializing vmemmap (struct
page array) when the vmemmap region spans two PGD entries, because the new
PGD entry is only installed in init_mm.pgd, but not in the page tables of
other tasks.
And looking at __populate_section_memmap():
if (vmemmap_can_optimize(altmap, pgmap))
// does not sync top level page tables
r = vmemmap_populate_compound_pages(pfn, start, end, nid, pgmap);
else
// sync top level page tables in x86
r = vmemmap_populate(start, end, nid, altmap);
In the normal path, vmemmap_populate() in arch/x86/mm/init_64.c
synchronizes the top level page table (See commit 9b861528a801 ("x86-64,
mem: Update all PGDs for direct mapping and vmemmap mapping changes")) so
that all tasks in the system can see the new vmemmap area.
However, when vmemmap_can_optimize() returns true, the optimized path
skips synchronization of top-level page tables. This is because
vmemmap_populate_compound_pages() is implemented in core MM code, which
does not handle synchronization of the top-level page tables. Instead,
the core MM has historically relied on each architecture to perform this
synchronization manually.
We're not the first party to encounter a crash caused by not-sync'd top
level page tables: earlier this year, Gwan-gyeong Mun attempted to address
the issue [1] [2] after hitting a kernel panic when x86 code accessed the
vmemmap area before the corresponding top-level entries were synced. At
that time, the issue was believed to be triggered only when struct page
was enlarged for debugging purposes, and the patch did not get further
updates.
It turns out that current approach of relying on each arch to handle the
page table sync manually is fragile because 1) it's easy to forget to sync
the top level page table, and 2) it's also easy to overlook that the
kernel should not access the vmemmap and direct mapping areas before the
sync.
# The solution: Make page table sync more code robust and harder to miss
To address this, Dave Hansen suggested [3] [4] introducing
{pgd,p4d}_populate_kernel() for updating kernel portion of the page tables
and allow each architecture to explicitly perform synchronization when
installing top-level entries. With this approach, we no longer need to
worry about missing the sync step, reducing the risk of future
regressions.
The new interface reuses existing ARCH_PAGE_TABLE_SYNC_MASK,
PGTBL_P*D_MODIFIED and arch_sync_kernel_mappings() facility used by
vmalloc and ioremap to synchronize page tables.
pgd_populate_kernel() looks like this:
static inline void pgd_populate_kernel(unsigned long addr, pgd_t *pgd,
p4d_t *p4d)
{
pgd_populate(&init_mm, pgd, p4d);
if (ARCH_PAGE_TABLE_SYNC_MASK & PGTBL_PGD_MODIFIED)
arch_sync_kernel_mappings(addr, addr);
}
It is worth noting that vmalloc() and apply_to_range() carefully
synchronizes page tables by calling p*d_alloc_track() and
arch_sync_kernel_mappings(), and thus they are not affected by this patch
series.
This series was hugely inspired by Dave Hansen's suggestion and hence
added Suggested-by: Dave Hansen.
Cc stable because lack of this series opens the door to intermittent
boot failures.
This patch (of 3):
Move ARCH_PAGE_TABLE_SYNC_MASK and arch_sync_kernel_mappings() to
linux/pgtable.h so that they can be used outside of vmalloc and ioremap.
