    xen/mmu: Call xen_cleanhighmap() with 4MB aligned for page tables mapping · 0d805ee7
    Zhenzhong Duan authored
    When bootup a PVM guest with large memory(Ex.240GB), XEN provided initial
    mapping overlaps with kernel module virtual space. When mapping in this space
    is cleared by xen_cleanhighmap(), in certain case there could be an 2MB mapping
    left. This is due to XEN initialize 4MB aligned mapping but xen_cleanhighmap()
    finish at 2MB boundary.
    
    When module loading is just on top of the 2MB space, got below warning:
    
    WARNING: at mm/vmalloc.c:106 vmap_pte_range+0x14e/0x190()

    Then the mapping of 2MB is cleared, finally oops when the page in that space is
    accessed.

    Call xen_cleanhighmap() with 4MB aligned for page tables mapping to fix it.
    The unnecessory call of xen_cleanhighmap() in DEBUG mode is also removed.
    
    -v2: add comment about XEN alignment from Juergen.
