If it passes addr=0x202920000,size=0xfe00 to unmap_stage2_range->
...->unmap_stage2_ptes, unmap_stage2_ptes will get addr=0x202920000,
end=0x20292fe00. After first while loop addr=0x202930000, end=0x20292fe00,
then addr!=end. Thus it will touch another pages by put_pages() in the
2nd loop.

This patch fixes it by hardening the break condition of while loop.

I don't think this change is the right thing to do. You get that failure
because you're being passed a size that is not a multiple of PAGE_SIZE.
That's the mistake.

You should ensure that this never happens, rather than changing the page
table walkers (which are consistent with the way this kind of code is
written in other places of the kernel). As you mentioned in your first
patch, the real issue is that KSM is broken, and this is what should be
fixed.

Thanks,

	M.

Got it, thanks
Should I resend the patch 1/2 without any changes after droping patch 2/2?

That's fine if you trim the commit message to make it look nicer.

Also, in the future, please include a cover letter if you send more than
one patch to the list.

Hi Christoffer
I ever sent out the v3 patch set with the single patch 1/2
[link] https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10413803/
Sorry,I ping-ed the wrong mail thread ;-).

Cheers,
Jia
