Subject: powerpc/mm/hash64: Fix might_have_hea() check
From: Michael Ellerman <mpe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 08bf75ba852ef8304a84b6a030466b4b4850382e upstream.
In commit 2b4e3ad8f579 ("powerpc/mm/hash64: Don't test for machine type
to detect HEA special case") we changed the logic in might_have_hea()
to check FW_FEATURE_SPLPAR rather than machine_is(pseries).
However the check was incorrectly negated, leading to crashes on
machines with HEA adapters, such as:
mm: Hashing failure ! EA=0xd000080080004040 access=0x800000000000000e current=NetworkManager
trap=0x300 vsid=0x13d349c ssize=1 base psize=2 psize 2 pte=0xc0003cc033e701ae
Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0xd000080080004040
Call Trace:
.ehea_create_cq+0x148/0x340 [ehea] (unreliable)
.ehea_up+0x258/0x1200 [ehea]
.ehea_open+0x44/0x1a0 [ehea]
...
Fix it by removing the negation.
