x86: Fix adjust_range_size_mask calling position
Commit 8d57470d x86, mm: setup page table in top-down causes a kernel panic while setting mem=2G. [mem 0x00000000-0x000fffff] page 4k [mem 0x7fe00000-0x7fffffff] page 1G [mem 0x7c000000-0x7fdfffff] page 1G [mem 0x00100000-0x001fffff] page 4k [mem 0x00200000-0x7bffffff] page 2M for last entry is not what we want, we should have [mem 0x00200000-0x3fffffff] page 2M [mem 0x40000000-0x7bffffff] page 1G Actually we merge the continuous ranges with same page size too early. in this case, before merging we have [mem 0x00200000-0x3fffffff] page 2M [mem 0x40000000-0x7bffffff] page 2M after merging them, will get [mem 0x00200000-0x7bffffff] page 2M even we can use 1G page to map [mem 0x40000000-0x7bffffff] that will cause problem, because we already map [mem 0x7fe00000-0x7fffffff] page 1G [mem 0x7c000000-0x7fdfffff] page 1G with 1G page, aka [0x40000000-0x7fffffff] is mapped with 1G page already. During phys_pud_init() for [0x40000000-0x7bffffff], it will not reuse existing that pud page, and allocate new one then try to use 2M page to map it instead, as page_size_mask does not include PG_LEVEL_1G. At end will have [7c000000-0x7fffffff] not mapped, loop in phys_pmd_init stop mapping at 0x7bffffff. That is right behavoir, it maps exact range with exact page size that we ask, and we should explicitly call it to map [7c000000-0x7fffffff] before or after mapping 0x40000000-0x7bffffff. Anyway we need to make sure ranges' page_size_mask correct and consistent after split_mem_range for each range. Fix that by calling adjust_range_size_mask before merging range with same page size. -v2: update change log. -v3: add more explanation why [7c000000-0x7fffffff] is not mapped, and it causes panic.
