Subject: [ 22/33] mm/THP: use pmd_populate() to update the pmd with pgtable_t pointer
Date: Wed,  5 Jun 2013 13:53:00 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130605204707.463300361@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20130605204702.359510786@linuxfoundation.org>

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "Aneesh Kumar K.V" <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

commit 7c3425123ddfdc5f48e7913ff59d908789712b18 upstream.

We should not use set_pmd_at to update pmd_t with pgtable_t pointer.
set_pmd_at is used to set pmd with huge pte entries and architectures
like ppc64, clear few flags from the pte when saving a new entry.
Without this change we observe bad pte errors like below on ppc64 with
THP enabled.

  BUG: Bad page map in process ld mm=0xc000001ee39f4780 pte:7fc3f37848000001 pmd:c000001ec0000000
