Hi Chintan,
[as a side note: I'm confused on the status of this patch series, as part
of it was reposted separately by Toshi. Please can you work together?]

Might also be worth checking pmd_table here, just in case. (same for pud)

Can you avoid dereferencing *pmdp twice, and instead READ_ONCE into a local
variable, please? (same for pud)

Shouldn't this be pte_free_kernel, to pair with pte_alloc_kernel which
was used to allocate the page in the first place? (similarly for pud)

I think it would be cleaner to write this as a do { ... } while, for
consistency with the ioremap and vmalloc code.
