4.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 753e8abc36b2c966caea075db0c845563c8a19bf upstream. The routine pgattr_change_is_safe() was extended in commit 4e6020565596 ("arm64: mm: Permit transitioning from Global to Non-Global without BBM") to permit changing the nG attribute from not set to set, but did so in a way that inadvertently disallows such changes if other permitted attribute changes take place at the same time. So update the code to take this into account. Fixes: 4e6020565596 ("arm64: mm: Permit transitioning from Global to ...")
