Once this is done, we should be able to replace all those confusing calls to tlb_remove_page() on PTPs with tlb_remove_table() and remove the explicit call to pagetable_dtor(). AIUI this is essentially what Peter suggested on v3 [2].Since this patch series is mainly for bug fix, I think that these things can be done in separate patch series later.Sure that's fair.quoted

Or can we just not let tlb_remove_table() fall back to tlb_remove_page()? Like the following:diff --git a/include/asm-generic/tlb.h b/include/asm-generic/tlb.h index a59205863f431..354ffaa4bd120 100644 --- a/include/asm-generic/tlb.h +++ b/include/asm-generic/tlb.h@@ -195,8 +195,6 @@ * various ptep_get_and_clear() functions. */ -#ifdef CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_TABLE_FREE - struct mmu_table_batch { #ifdef CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE struct rcu_head rcu;@@ -219,16 +217,6 @@ static inline void __tlb_remove_table(void *table) extern void tlb_remove_table(struct mmu_gather *tlb, void *table); -#else /* !CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_HAVE_TABLE_FREE */ - -/* - * Without MMU_GATHER_TABLE_FREE the architecture is assumed to havepage based - * page directories and we can use the normal page batching to free them. - */ -#define tlb_remove_table(tlb, page) tlb_remove_page((tlb), (page))We still need a different implementation of tlb_remove_table() in this case. We could define it inline here: static inline void tlb_remove_table(struct mmu_gather *tlb, void *table) { struct page *page = table; pagetable_dtor(page_ptdesc(page)); tlb_remove_page(page); }Right. As I said above, will add this to the updated patch #8.I think it would be preferable to make it a standalone patch, because this is a change to generic code that could in principle impact other arch's too.
Agree, I have done that:

mm: pgtable: completely move pagetable_dtor() to generic
tlb_remove_table()
For the generic tlb_remove_table(), it is implemented in the
following two
forms:
1) CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_TABLE_FREE is enabled
tlb_remove_table
--> generic __tlb_remove_table()
2) CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_TABLE_FREE is disabled
tlb_remove_table
--> tlb_remove_page
For case 1), the pagetable_dtor() has already been moved to generic
__tlb_remove_table().
For case 2), now only arm will call
tlb_remove_table()/tlb_remove_ptdesc()
when CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_TABLE_FREE is disabled. Let's move
pagetable_dtor()
completely to generic tlb_remove_table(), so that the architectures can
follow more easily.
