3.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@xxxxxxx>
commit 69dde4c52dbac2891b49ff9723d9c84efc5baf6f upstream.
Following commit 26ffd0d4 (ARM: mm: introduce present, faulting entries
for PAGE_NONE), if a page has been mapped as PROT_NONE, the L_PTE_VALID
bit is cleared by the set_pte_ext() code. With LPAE the software and
hardware pte share the same location and subsequent modifications of pte
range (change_protection()) will leave the L_PTE_VALID bit cleared.
This patch adds the L_PTE_VALID bit to the newprot mask in pte_modify().
