3.8.13.20 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Steve Capper <steve.capper@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 84fe6826c28f69d8708bd575faed7f75e6b6f57f upstream. Page table entries on ARM64 are 64 bits, and some pte functions such as pte_dirty return a bitwise-and of a flag with the pte value. If the flag to be tested resides in the upper 32 bits of the pte, then we run into the danger of the result being dropped if downcast. For example: gather_stats(page, md, pte_dirty(*pte), 1); where pte_dirty(*pte) is downcast to an int. This patch adds a double logical invert to all the pte_ accessors to ensure predictable downcasting.
