Pgtable page address can be fetched with [pmd|pte]_offset_[kernel] if input
address is PMD_SIZE or PTE_SIZE aligned. Input address is now guaranteed to
be aligned, hence fetched pgtable page address is always correct. But using
0UL as offset base address has been a standard practice across platforms.
It also makes more sense as it isolates pgtable page address computation
from input virtual address alignment. This does not change functionality.

What's the plan with this small series? I didn't find a v5 (unless I
deleted it by mistake). I can queue this patch through the arm64 tree or
they can both go in via the mm tree.

I have the same comment as last time:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20190430161759.GI29799@arrakis.emea.arm.com/

I don't see why pmdp needs to be different from table. We get the
pointer to a pmd page and we want to iterate over it to free the pte
entries it contains. You can add a VM_WARN on addr alignment as in the
previous version of the patch but pmdp is just an iterator over table.

Fair enough. I believe VM_WARN() is needed to check address alignment because
they are now guaranteed to be aligned because of the previous patch. I guess
we should probably drop this patch and consider only the previous one ?

As mentioned earlier [1] I believe the second patch is not needed anymore. Hence
only V4 of the first patch (https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10944191/) which
has a Reviewed-by tag should be considered.
