As described in the comment, the correct order for freeing pages is: 1) unhook page 2) TLB invalidate page 3) free page This order equally applies to page directories. Currently there are two correct options: - use tlb_remove_page(), when all page directores are full pages and there are no futher contraints placed by things like software walkers (HAVE_FAST_GUP). - use MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE and tlb_remove_table() when the architecture does not do IPI based TLB invalidate and has HAVE_FAST_GUP (or software TLB fill). This however leaves architectures that don't have page based directories but don't need RCU in a bind. For those, provide MMU_GATHER_TABLE_FREE, which provides the independent batching for directories without the additional RCU freeing.

README
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.
