The pmd_set_huge() and pud_set_huge() functions are used from the generic ioremap() code to establish large mappings where this is possible. But the generic ioremap() code does not check whether the PMD/PUD entries are already populated with a non-leaf entry, so that any page-table pages these entries point to will be lost. Further, on x86-32 with SHARED_KERNEL_PMD=0, this causes a BUG_ON() in vmalloc_sync_one() when PMD entries are synced from swapper_pg_dir to the current page-table. This happens because the PMD entry from swapper_pg_dir was promoted to a huge-page entry while the current PGD still contains the non-leaf entry. Because both entries are present and point to a different page, the BUG_ON() triggers. This was actually triggered with pti-x32 enabled in a KVM virtual machine by the graphics driver. A real and better fix for that would be to improve the page-table handling in the generic ioremap() code. But that is out-of-scope for this patch-set and left for later work. Reported-by: David H.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
