[PATCH 0/2] x86, mm: Fix PAT bit handling of large pages

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

 



The PAT bit gets relocated to bit 12 when PUD and PMD mappings are
used.  This bit 12, however, is not covered by PTE_FLAGS_MASK, which
is corrently used for masking the flag bits for all cases. 

Patch 1/2 fixes pud_flags() and pmd_flags() to handle the PAT bit
when PUD and PMD mappings are used.

Patch 2/2 fixes /sys/kernel/debug/kernel_page_tables to show the
PAT bit properly.

Note, the PAT bit is first enabled in 4.2-rc1 with WT mappings.
