Subject: mm/memory.c: fix potential pte_unmap_unlock pte error
Since commit 42e4089c7890 ("x86/speculation/l1tf: Disallow non privileged
high MMIO PROT_NONE mappings"), when the first pfn modify is not allowed,
we would break the loop with pte unchanged. Then the wrong pte - 1 would
be passed to pte_unmap_unlock.
Andi said:
: While the fix is correct, I'm not sure if it actually is a real bug. Is
: there any architecture that would do something else than unlocking the
: underlying page? If it's just the underlying page then it should be
: always the same page, so no bug.
