Below is slightly modified version of your change above and should still
prevent the bug on powerpc. Will it be possible for you to re-test this
? 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()?
AFAIU, you are not taking an interrupt here. You are stuck in the
pte_update(), most likely due to nested locks. Try with LOCKDEP ?
