You can't assume that a pmd is something you can just go: __pte(pmd_val(x)) with. Not at all. You have to use the correct pmd_*() accessors at all times on this object. Platforms can encode PMDs however they like. In fact, on sparc64, we used to have 32-bit PMDs with a special encoding for huge PMDs that looked nothing at all like a 64-bit PTE. Please code this in a portable manner to support the powerpc facilities, don't add assumptions that are not necessarily universally true. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-arch" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
