Subject: [PATCH] x86/hugetlb: use set_pmd for huge pte operations
Date: Tue, 20 Jul 2010 12:55:47 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4C45FF43.2030108@goop.org> (raw)

From: Dave McCracken <dave.mccracken@oracle.com>

On x86, a huge pte is logically a pte, but structurally a pmd.  Among
other issues, pmds and ptes overload some flags for multiple uses (PAT
vs PSE), so it is necessary to know which structural level a pagetable
entry is in order interpret it properly.

When huge pages are used within a paravirtualized system, it is therefore
appropriate to use the pmd set of function to operate on them, so that
the hypervisor can correctly validate the update.
