    x86/mm/hotplug: Modify PGD entry when removing memory · 5f2f9512

    commit 9661d5bc upstream.
    
    When hot-adding/removing memory, sync_global_pgds() is called
    for synchronizing PGD to PGD entries of all processes MM.  But
    when hot-removing memory, sync_global_pgds() does not work
    correctly.
    
    At first, sync_global_pgds() checks whether target PGD is none
    or not.  And if PGD is none, the PGD is skipped.  But when
    hot-removing memory, PGD may be none since PGD may be cleared by
    free_pud_table().  So when sync_global_pgds() is called after
    hot-removing memory, sync_global_pgds() should not skip PGD even
    if the PGD is none.  And sync_global_pgds() must clear PGD
    entries of all processes MM.
    
    Currently sync_global_pgds() does not clear PGD entries of all
    processes MM when hot-removing memory.  So when hot adding
    memory which is same memory range as removed memory after
    hot-removing memory, following call traces are shown:

    This patch clears PGD entries of all processes MM when
    sync_global_pgds() is called after hot-removing memory
