[PATCH v1] mm/huge_memory: check pmd_special() only after pmd_present()

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

 



We should only check for pmd_special() after we made sure that we
have a present PMD. For example, if we have a migration PMD,
pmd_special() might indicate that we have a special PMD although we
really don't.

This fixes confusing migration entries as PFN mappings, and not
doing what we are supposed to do in the "is_swap_pmd()" case further
down in the function -- including messing up COW, page table handling
and accounting.

I yet have to do more testing, but sending this out already.
