[PATCH v3 04/13 fix] powerpc: assert_pte_locked() use pte_offset_map_nolock(): fix

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

 



Aneesh points out that assert_pte_locked() still needs the pmd_none()
check, to stop crashing in khugepaged: restore that comment and check.

Andrew, when merging with original commit, please edit its 1st para to:

Instead of pte_lockptr(), use the recently added pte_offset_map_nolock()
in assert_pte_locked().  BUG if pte_offset_map_nolock() fails.
