Now the PUD level ptes are always protected by mm->page_table_lock,
which means no split pagetable lock needed. So the generic PUD level
pagetable pages allocation will not call pgtable_pte_page_ctor/dtor(),
that means we will miss to account PUD level pagetable pages.

Adding pagetable account by calling pgtable_set_and_inc() or
pgtable_clear_and_dec() when allocating or freeing PUD level pagetable
pages to help to get an accurate pagetable accounting.

Moreover this patch will also mark the PUD level pagetable with PG_table
flag, which will help to do sanity validation in unpoison_memory() and
get more accurate pagetable accounting by /proc/kpageflags interface.

Meanwhile converting the architectures with using generic PUD pagatable
allocation to add corresponding pgtable_set_and_inc() or pgtable_clear_and_dec()
to account PUD level pagetable.

looks better IMO.

Sure.

I don't think __get_free_pages() should be replaced with alloc_pages()
here, just call pgtable_set_and_inc() with virt_to_page(pud).

The same applies for the cases below.

Sure. Will do in next version. Thanks.
