[RFC PATCH 1/7] mm: use ptep_clear() in non-present cases

From: Qi Zheng <hidden>
Date: 2022-08-25 10:11:45

Subsystem: memory management, memory management - core, memory mapping, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, David Hildenbrand, Liam R. Howlett, Lorenzo Stoakes, Linus Torvalds

After commit 08d5b29eac7d ("mm: ptep_clear() page table helper"),
the ptep_clear() can be used to track the clearing of PTE entries,
but it skips some places since the page table check does not care
about non-present PTE entries.

Subsequent patches need to use ptep_clear() to track all clearing
PTE entries, so this patch makes ptep_clear() used for all cases
including clearing non-present PTE entries.
