Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ARM: mm: Fix definition of pmd_mknotpresent
Date: Tue, 31 May 2016 17:37:40 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1464712660-25177-3-git-send-email-catalin.marinas@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1464712660-25177-1-git-send-email-catalin.marinas@arm.com>
From: Steve Capper <steve.capper@arm.com>
Currently pmd_mknotpresent will use a zero entry to respresent an
invalidated pmd.
Unfortunately this definition clashes with pmd_none, thus it is
possible for a race condition to occur if zap_pmd_range sees pmd_none
whilst __split_huge_pmd_locked is running too with pmdp_invalidate
just called.
This patch fixes the race condition by modifying pmd_mknotpresent to
create non-zero faulting entries (as is done in other architectures),
removing the ambiguity with pmd_none.
Fixes: 8d9625070073 ("ARM: mm: Transparent huge page support for LPAE systems.")
