Subject: [PATCH] mm/page_table_check: fix accessing unmapped ptep
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.
[akpm@linux-foundation.org: account for ptep alteration, per Matthew]
