And it should be     the same with invalid pmd entry, since pmd_none() is called by function free_pgd_range() and pmd_none()     return 0 by huge_pte_clear(). So single _PAGE_HUGE bit is also treated as a valid pte table and     free_pte_range() will be called in free_pmd_range(). free_pmd_range() pmd = pmd_offset(pud, addr); do {     next = pmd_addr_end(addr, end); if (pmd_none_or_clear_bad(pmd)) continue; free_pte_range(tlb, pmd, addr);
    } while (pmd++, addr = next, addr != end); Here invalid_pte_table is used for both invalid huge pte entry     and pmd entry. (CVE-2024-56628)
