kernel BUG at mm/page_table_check.c:162!
invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN
CPU: 0 PID: 3099 Comm: pasha Not tainted 5.16.0+ #48
Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIO4

The repro involved having a huge page that is split due to uprobe event
temporarily replacing one of the pages in the huge page. Later the huge
page was combined again, but the counters were off, as the PTE level was
not properly updated.
Make sure that when PMD is cleared and prior to freeing the level the
PTEs are updated.

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.
