Could you be a _little_ more specific than "build issues"? Is it that
you want to do:
void pmd_clear_bad(pmd_t *pmd)
{
- pmd_ERROR(*pmd);
+ pmd_ERROR(pmdp_get(pmd));
pmd_clear(pmd);
}
But the pmd_ERROR() macro would expand that to:
&pmdp_get(pmd)
which is nonsense?
Having the PTEs' kernel addresses _is_ handy, but I guess they're
scrambled on most end users' systems now and anybody that's actively
debugging can just use a kprobe or something to dump the pmd_clear_bad()
argument directly.
