You mean destroy_all_mappings called by mem_begin vs. phys_sections_clear called by core_begin, right? > This leaves a window where phys_sections_nb > 0 but the > subpages are not valid anymore, which is a recipe for use-after-free > bugs. > > Move the destruction of subpages in phys_sections_clear. What ensures that we still destroy the subpages when an address space is cleaned up (address_space_destroy_dispatch)? The fact that an address space has to be / is de facto empty when destroying it? That question also applies on the next patch.
