Although pmd_present() might seem to indicate a valid and mapped pmd entry, in reality it returns true when pmd_page() points to a valid page in memory , regardless whether the pmd entry is mapped or not. Andrea Arcangeli had earlier explained [1] the required semantics for pmd_present(). This just updates the documentation for pmd_present() as required.

Architecture Page Table Helpers
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
Generic MM expects architectures (with MMU) to provide helpers to create, access
|
|
and modify page table entries at various level for different memory functions.
|
|
These page table helpers need to conform to a common semantics across platforms.
|
|
Following tables describe the expected semantics which can also be tested during
|
|
boot via CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE option. All future changes in here or the debug
|
|
test need to be in sync.
