The tlb_remove_ptdesc()/tlb_remove_table() is specially designed for page
table pages, and now all architectures have been converted to use it to
remove page table pages. So let's remove tlb_remove_page_ptdesc(), it
currently has no users and should not be used for page table pages.

If the CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_TABLE_FREE is disabled, the tlb_remove_table()
will fall back to pagetable_dtor() + tlb_remove_page(). So let's use
tlb_remove_table() unconditionally to free page table pages.

Hi all,
As suggested by Peter Zijlstra below [1], this series aims to remove
tlb_remove_page_ptdesc().
: Fundamentally tlb_remove_page() is about removing *pages* as from a PTE,
: there should not be a page-table anywhere near here *ever*.

: Yes, some architectures use tlb_remove_page() for pag
Now only arm will call tlb_remove_ptdesc()/tlb_remove_table() when
CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_TABLE_FREE is disabled. In this case, the type of the
table parameter is actually struct ptdesc * instead of struct page *.
Since struct ptdesc still overlaps with struct page and has not been
separated from it, f
To support fast gup, the commit 69be3fb111e7 ("riscv: enable
MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE for SMP && MMU") did the following:
1) use tlb_remove_page_ptdesc() for those platforms which use IPI to
perform TLB shootdown
2) use tlb_remove_ptdesc() for those platforms which use SBI to perform
TLB s
Now, the nine architectures of csky, hexagon, loongarch, m68k, mips,
nios2, openrisc, sh and um do not select CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE,
and just call pagetable_dtor() + tlb_remove_page_ptdesc() (the wrapper of
tlb_remove_page()). This is the same as the implementation of
tlb_remove_{ptdesc|
