Since commit:af2cf278ef("x86/mm/hotplug: Don't remove PGD entries in remove_pagetable()") we no longer free PUDs so that we do not have to synchronize all PGDs on hot-remove/vfree(). But the new 5-level page table patchset reverted that for 4-level page tables, in the following commit:f2a6a70501: ("x86: Convert the rest of the code to support p4d_t") This patch restores the damage and disables free_pud() if we are in the 4-level page table case, thus avoiding BUG_ON() after hot-remove.

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.
