The SRMMU page-table allocator allocates multiple PTE tables per page,
since they are only 1K in size. However, this means that calls to
pgtable_pte_page_{ctor,dtor}() must be serialised and performed only by
the first and last page-table allocation for the page respectively.
Use the page reference count to track how many PTE tables we have
allocated for a given page returned by the SRMMU allocator and only
call the ctor()/dtor() functions for the first and last user respectively.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
