On LoongArch 3C5000 Dual-Way machine, there are 32 CPUs and 128G RAM,
there are some errors with run vmalloc test with command like this
insmod test_vmalloc.ko nr_threads=32 run_test_mask=0x3af
Here is part of error message,

The mainly problem is that function set_pte() and pte_free() is atomic,
there is contension between them. Since these functions need modify
two consecutive pte entries for kernel space area, to assure that both
pte entries with PAGE_GLOBAL bit set.
With this patchset, vmalloc test case passes to run with command
insmod test_vmalloc.ko nr_threads=32 run_test_mask=0x3af
Bibo Mao (4):
LoongArch: Set pte entry with PAGE_GLOBAL for kernel space
mm/sparse-vmemmap: set pte_init when vmemmap is created
LoongArch: Add barrier between set_pte and memory access
LoongArch: Use atomic operation with set_pte and pte_clear function
