Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/mm: Handle hypervisor pte insert failure in __hash_page_huge
Date: Thu, 15 Jul 2010 15:31:48 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100715053148.GD10155@kryten> (raw)


If the hypervisor gives us an error on a hugepage insert we panic. The
normal page code already handles this by returning an error instead and we end
calling low_hash_fault which will just kill the task if possible.

The patch below does a similar thing for the hugepage case.
