Date: Thu, 21 Nov 2013 14:46:47 +0200 From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill.shutemov@...ux.intel.com> To: Andrew Morton <akpm@...ux-foundation.org> Cc: linux-mm@...ck.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, "Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill.shutemov@...ux.intel.com> Subject: [PATCH] x86, mm: do not leak page->ptl for pmd page tables There are two code paths how page with pmd page table can be freed: pmd_free() and pmd_free_tlb(). I've missed the second one and didn't add page table destructor call there. It leads to leak of page->ptl for pmd page tables, if dynamically allocated page->ptl is in use. The patch adds the missed destructor and modifies documentation accordingly. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.
