[PATCH v5 4/7] mm/x86: Make pud_leaf() only care about PSE bit

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When working on mprotect() on 1G dax entries, I hit an zap bad pud
error when zapping a huge pud that is with PROT_NONE permission.

Here the problem is x86's pud_leaf() requires both PRESENT and PSE bits
set to report a pud entry as a leaf, but that doesn't look right, as
it's not following the pXd_leaf() definition that we stick with so far,
where PROT_NONE entries should be reported as leaves.

To fix it, change x86's pud_leaf() implementation to only check against
PSE bit to report a leaf, irrelevant of whether PRESENT bit is set.
