Kirill A. Shutemov e6ab9c4d43 x86/mm/64: Fix crash in remove_pagetable()
remove_pagetable() does page walk using p*d_page_vaddr() plus cast.
It's not canonical approach -- we usually use p*d_offset() for that.

It works fine as long as all page table levels are present. We broke the
invariant by introducing folded p4d page table level.

As result, remove_pagetable() interprets PMD as PUD and it leads to
crash:

	BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff880300000000
	IP: memchr_inv+0x60/0x110
	PGD 317d067
	P4D 317d067
	PUD 3180067
	PMD 33f102067
	PTE 8000000300000060

Let's fix this by using p*d_offset() instead of p*d_page_vaddr() for
page walk.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
