X-Git-Tag: accepted/tizen/common/20141203.182822~1356^2~2 X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=26794942461f438a6bc725ec7294b08a6bd782c4;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-arm64.git mm: Fix generic hugetlb pte check return type. The include/asm-generic/hugetlb.h stubs that just vector huge_pte_*() calls to the pte_*() implementations won't work in certain situations. x86 and sparc, for example, return "unsigned long" from the bit checks, and just go "return pte_val(pte) & PTE_BIT_FOO;" But since huge_pte_*() returns 'int', if any high bits on 64-bit are relevant, they get chopped off. The net effect is that we can loop forever trying to COW a huge page, because the huge_pte_write() check signals false all the time.
