The common mm code calls mm_dec_nr_pmds() and mm_dec_nr_puds() in free_pgtables() if the address range spans a full pud or pmd. If mm_dec_nr_puds/mm_dec_nr_pmds are non-empty due to configuration settings they blindly subtract the size of the pmd or pud table from pgtable_bytes even if the pud or pmd page table layer is folded. Add explicit mm_[pmd|pud]_folded checks to the four pgtable_bytes accounting functions mm_inc_nr_puds, mm_inc_nr_pmds, mm_dec_nr_puds and mm_dec_nr_pmds. As the check for folded page tables can be overwritten by the architecture, this allows to keep a correct pgtable_bytes value for platforms that use a dynamic number of page table levels.

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.
