I'm nervous about this change. It seems there are many code paths not awared of pud swap entry.
I browsed some of them:
apply_to_pud_range called from apply_to_page_range:

apply_to_pud_range:
	next = pud_addr_end(addr, end);
	if (pud_none(*pud) && !create)
		continue;
	if (WARN_ON_ONCE(pud_leaf(*pud)))
		return -EINVAL;
	if (!pud_none(*pud) && WARN_ON_ONCE(pud_bad(*pud))) {
		if (!create)
			continue;
		pud_clear_bad(pud);
	}
	err = apply_to_pmd_range(mm, pud, addr, next,
				 fn, data, create, mask);

For !pud_present case, it will mostly reach apply_to_pmd_range and call pmd_offset on it. And invalid
pointer will be de-referenced.

Another example might be copy_pud_range and so on. So I think it might not be prepared to enable the
1GB hugepage or all of these places should be fixed?

Thanks!
