Subject: [PATCH -V2] powerpc: Fix bad pmd error with book3E config
Date: Wed, 19 Jun 2013 12:04:26 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1371623666-27348-1-git-send-email-aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
From: "Aneesh Kumar K.V" <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Book3E uses the hugepd at PMD level and don't encode pte directly
at the pmd level. So it will find the lower bits of pmd set
and the pmd_bad check throws error. Infact the current code
will never take the free_hugepd_range call at all because it will
clear the pmd if it find a hugepd pointer. Fix this by clearing
bad pmd only if it is not a hugepd pointer.
This is regression introduced by e2b3d202d1dba8f3546ed28224ce485bc50010be
