If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Mel Gorman commit 67f87463d3a3362424efcbe8b40e4772fd34fc61 upstream. On x86, PMD entries are similar to _PAGE_PROTNONE protection and are handled as NUMA hinting faults. The following two page table protection bits are what defines them _PAGE_NUMA:set _PAGE_PRESENT:clear A PMD is considered present if any of the _PAGE_PRESENT, _PAGE_PROTNONE, _PAGE_PSE or _PAGE_NUMA bits are set. If pmdp_invalidate encounters a pmd_numa, it clears the present bit leaving _PAGE_NUMA which will be considered not present by the CPU but present by pmd_present. The existing caller of pmdp_invalidate should handle it but it's an inconsistent state for a PMD. This patch keeps the state consistent when calling pmdp_invalidate.
