Once confirmed, will send a patch enabling this test on powerpc64 > keeping your authorship. Thank you. This works fine on radix MMU but I decided to go a bit future to test hash MMU. The kernel will stuck here below. I did confirm that pte_alloc_map_lock() was successful, so I don’t understand hash MMU well enough to tell why it could still take an interrupt at pte_clear_tests() even before we calls pte_unmap_unlock()?
