On some architectures (like ARM64), it can support CONT-PTE/PMD size hugetlb, which means it can support not only PMD/PUD size hugetlb: 2M and 1G, but also CONT-PTE/PMD size: 64K and 32M if a 4K page size specified. When unmapping a hugetlb page, we will get the relevant page table entry by huge_pte_offset() only once to nuke it. This is correct for PMD or PUD size hugetlb, since they always contain only one pmd entry or pud entry in the page table. However this is incorrect for CONT-PTE and CONT-PMD size hugetlb, since they can contain several continuous pte or pmd entry with same page table attributes, so we will nuke only one pte or pmd entry for this CONT-PTE/PMD size hugetlb page. And now try_to_unmap() is only passed a hugetlb page in the case where the hugetlb page is poisoned. Which means now we will unmap only one pte entry for a CONT-PTE or CONT-PMD size poisoned hugetlb page, and we can still access other subpages of a CONT-PTE or CONT-PMD size poisoned hugetlb page, which will cause serious issues possibly. So we should change to use huge_ptep_clear_flush() to nuke the hugetlb page table to fix this issue, which already considered CONT-PTE and CONT-PMD size hugetlb. We've already used set_huge_swap_pte_at() to set a poisoned swap entry for a poisoned hugetlb page. Meanwhile adding a VM_BUG_ON() to make sure the passed hugetlb page is poisoned in try_to_unmap().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
