Aneesh Kumar K.V 891121e6c0 powerpc/mm: Differentiate between hugetlb and THP during page walk ... We need to properly identify whether a hugepage is an explicit or a transparent hugepage in follow_huge_addr(). We used to depend on hugepage shift argument to do that. But in some case that can result in wrong results. For ex: On finding a transparent hugepage we set hugepage shift to PMD_SHIFT. But we can end up clearing the thp pte, via pmdp_huge_get_and_clear. We do prevent reusing the pfn page via the usage of kick_all_cpus_sync(). But that happens after we updated the pte to 0. Hence in follow_huge_addr() we can find hugepage shift set, but transparent huge page check fail for a thp pte. NOTE: We fixed a variant of this race against thp split in commit 691e95fd73 ("powerpc/mm/thp: Make page table walk safe against thp split/collapse") Without this patch, we may hit the BUG_ON(flags & FOLL_GET) in follow_page_mask occasionally. In the long term, we may want to switch ppc64 64k page size config to enable CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_GENERAL_HUGETLB Reported-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Signed-off-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>		2015-10-12 15:30:09 +11:00
