Subject: [PATCH 0/5] Clean up huge vmap and ioremap code

Hi all,

The recent introduction of break-before-make on the huge vmap path in
b6bdb7517c3d ("mm/vmalloc: add interfaces to free unmapped page table")
introduced a pair of arch functions for freeing a child level of page
table before putting down a huge mapping at the parent level.

Whilst this works well, the semantics of the pXd_free_pYd_table() function
are slightly confusing, and this led to an over-eager VM_WARN_ON in the
arm64 code that we fixed in -rc3 [1]. Linus suggested that the interface
could be tidied up so that the pXd_present() checks are moved into the
caller, so I've implemented that and generally cleaned up the ioremap code
so that it's easier to follow. I also extended the break-before-make code
to cover the huge p4d case, although this remains unused by any architectures.

Feedback welcome.

Cheers,

Will
