ptep is unmapped too early, so ptep will be accessed while it's unmapped.
Fix it by deferring pte_unmap() until page table checking is done.

Fixes: 80110bbfbba6 ("mm/page_table_check: check entries at pmd levels")

In the beginning, page_table_check only supported x86_64, so there
is no problem. But then the commit 3fee229a8eb9 ("riscv/mm: enable
ARCH_SUPPORTS_PAGE_TABLE_CHECK") added support for riscv-32, it is 
indeed a problem in this case.

So:

pte_unmap() is needed only with  CONFIG_HIGHPTE. I do not see this
config for  riskv-32?

I would re-word this as a cleanup. While pte_unmap() is currently
unused, it is still better to call it after we are done with *ptep in
case of future changes in other architectures.

This is more a clean-up, there is no existing bug, so no need to
backport to stable. Please remove the above.

My bad, but it's better to call pte_unmap() after the check is done.

But ptep was mutated in the loop.  So surely this needs to be:

		pte_unmap(ptep - PTRS_PER_PTE);

or you'll be unmapping the wrong page.

Right, thank you Matthew.

Miaohe, please store the ptep, or maybe drop this patch entirely.

I think it's best to fix it.  I rewrote the changelog as

: ptep is unmapped too early, so ptep could theoretically be accessed while
: it's unmapped.  This might become a problem if/when CONFIG_HIGHPTE becomes
: available on riscv.
:
: Fix it by deferring pte_unmap() until page table checking is done.

I'll retain the Fixes:.  This doesn't imply cc:stable in MM, and anyone
who backports the original patchset will want to know about this fixup.

And I queued a fixup for the thing Matthew noticed.
