[PATCH 2/2] x86/mm: implement free pmd/pte page interfaces

Wed Mar 7 10:32:27 PST 2018


Implement pud_free_pmd_page() and pmd_free_pte_page() on x86, which
clear a given pud/pmd entry and free up lower level page table(s).
Address range associated with the pud/pmd entry must have been purged
by INVLPG.
