[mm subsystem] A question about function page_table_range_init_count()

[Hao Lee <haolee.swjtu@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, all

I encounter a problem when I read the source code of kernel 4.9.9.

In arch/x86/mm/init_32.c, at line 125 [1], there is a function named page_table_range_init_count(...). I have analyzed some codes and find its two parameters are PKMAP_BASE and FIXADDR_START.

Between Line 141 and Line 150, there is a for loop and I don't know what it means, especially Line 144-Line147.

Could someone can give me some tips. Thanks a lot!

Here is the code:
