Hi Anshuman,

The range here could be a whole PMD_SIZE. Since we are invalidating a
single block entry, one TLBI should be sufficient:

			flush_tlb_kernel_range(addr, addr + PAGE_SIZE);
+			if (free_mapped)
+				free_hotplug_page_range(pmd_page(pmd),
+							PMD_SIZE);
+			continue;
+		}
+		WARN_ON(!pmd_table(pmd));
+		unmap_hotplug_pte_range(pmdp, addr, next, free_mapped);
+	} while (addr = next, addr < end);
+}
+
+static void unmap_hotplug_pud_range(pgd_t *pgdp, unsigned long addr,
+				    unsigned long end, bool free_mapped)
+{
+	unsigned long next;
+	pud_t *pudp, pud;
+
+	do {
+		next = pud_addr_end(addr, end);
+		pudp = pud_offset(pgdp, addr);
+		pud = READ_ONCE(*pudp);
+		if (pud_none(pud))
+			continue;
+
+		WARN_ON(!pud_present(pud));
+		if (pud_sect(pud)) {
+			pud_clear(pudp);
+			flush_tlb_kernel_range(addr, next);
			^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
			flush_tlb_kernel_range(addr, addr + PAGE_SIZE);

+static void free_empty_pte_table(pmd_t *pmdp, unsigned long addr,
+				 unsigned long end, unsigned long floor,
+				 unsigned long ceiling)
+{
+	pte_t *ptep, pte;
+	unsigned long i, start = addr;
+
+	do {
+		ptep = pte_offset_kernel(pmdp, addr);
+		pte = READ_ONCE(*ptep);
+		WARN_ON(!pte_none(pte));
+	} while (addr += PAGE_SIZE, addr < end);
So this loop is just a sanity check (pte clearing having been done by
the unmap loops). That's fine, maybe a comment for future reference.
+
+	if (!pgtable_range_aligned(start, end, floor, ceiling, PMD_MASK))
+		return;
+
+	ptep = pte_offset_kernel(pmdp, 0UL);
+	for (i = 0; i < PTRS_PER_PTE; i++) {
+		if (!pte_none(READ_ONCE(ptep[i])))
+			return;
+	}
We could do with a comment for this loop along the lines of:

	Check whether we can free the pte page if the rest of the
	entries are empty. Overlap with other regions have been handled
	by the floor/ceiling check.

Apart from the comments above, the rest of the patch looks fine. Once
fixed:

Mark Rutland mentioned at some point that, as a preparatory patch to
this series, we'd need to make sure we don't hot-remove memory already
given to the kernel at boot. Any plans here?

Thanks.
