mm/huge_memory.c: fix modifying of page protection by insert_pfn_pmd()
With some architectures like ppc64, set_pmd_at() cannot cope with a situation where there is already some (different) valid entry present. Use pmdp_set_access_flags() instead to modify the pfn which is built to deal with modifying existing PMD entries. This is similar to commit cae85cb ("mm/memory.c: fix modifying of page protection by insert_pfn()") We also do similar update w.r.t insert_pfn_pud eventhough ppc64 don't support pud pfn entries now. Without this patch we also see the below message in kernel log "BUG: non-zero pgtables_bytes on freeing mm:" Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/[email protected] Signed-off-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V <[email protected]> Reported-by: Chandan Rajendra <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Jan Kara <[email protected]> Cc: Dan Williams <[email protected]> Cc: <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <[email protected]>
