The tests do expect _PAGE_PTE bit set by different page table accessors.
This is not true for the kernel. Within the kernel, _PAGE_PTE bits are
usually set by set_pte_at(). To make the below tests work correctly add test
specific pfn_pte/pmd helpers that set _PAGE_PTE bit.

pte_t pte = pfn_pte(pfn, prot);
WARN_ON(!pte_devmap(pte_mkdevmap(pte)));
WARN_ON(!pte_savedwrite(pte_mk_savedwrite(pte_clear_savedwrite(pte))));

Again, no platform specific constructs please. This defeats the whole purpose of
this test. If __PAGE_PTE is required for the helpers, then pfn_pmd/pte() could
be modified to accommodate that. We dont see similar issues on other platforms,
hence could you please explain why ppc64 is different here.


It is not platform specific. set_pte_at is the one that set the _PAGE_PTE bit. We don't call that in the test. The test seems to make the assumption that pfn_pte returns a proper pte which is not true.
