Subject: [patch 2/4] x86: PAT followup - Remove KERNPG_TABLE from pte entry
Date: Tue, 15 Jan 2008 18:39:57 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080116024111.825025000@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20080116023955.597433000@intel.com

[-- Attachment #1: remove_pgtable_flags.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1075 bytes --]

KERNPG_TABLE was a bug in earlier patch. Remove it from pte.
pte_val() check is redundant as this routine is called immediately after a
ptepage is allocated afresh.
