The current assertion tries to make sure that we do not over count the number of used PDE inside a page directory -- that is with an array of 512 pde, we do not expect more than 512 elements used! However, our assertion has to take into account that as we pin an element into the page directory, the caller first pins the page directory so the usage count is one higher. However, this should be one extra pin per thread, and the upper bound is that we may have one thread for each entry.

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.
