pmdp_collapse_flush() should be given the start address at which the huge page is mapped, haddr: it was given addr, which at that point has been used as a local variable, incremented to the end address of the extent. Found by source inspection while chasing a hugepage locking bug, which I then could not explain by this. At first I thought this was very bad; then saw that all of the page translations that were not flushed would actually still point to the right pages afterwards, so harmless; then realized that I know nothing of how different architectures and models cache intermediate paging structures, so maybe it matters after all - particularly since the page table concerned is immediately freed. Much easier to fix than to think about. Fixes: 27e1f827 ("khugepaged: enable collapse pmd for pte-mapped THP") Signed-off-by:
