The question is what's the right way to fix it? Should pte_pgprot() not
be filtering those bits out on book3e?

I think we should not use pte_pggrot() for that then. What about the
below fix ?

Thanks, that almost works.

pte_mkprivileged() also needs to not strip _PAGE_BAP_SR.

Oops, I missed it allthough I knew it. Patch below.

Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/book3e: redefine pte_mkprivileged() and pte_mkuser()
To: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, Paul Mackerras <paulus@xxxxxxxxx>, Michael Ellerman <mpe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Cc: linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, linuxppc-dev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Book3e defines both _PAGE_USER and _PAGE_PRIVILEGED, so the nohash
default pte_mkprivileged() and pte_mkuser() are not usable.

This patch redefines them for book3e.

But there's also a use of pte_pgprot() in mm/memory.c, and I think that
is also broken now that we don't add PAGE_KERNEL back in.

Aneesh is going to do a patch to make pte_pgprot() only mask the PFN
which is what other arches do.

Yes I saw it, that's ok for me.

Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/mm: don't use pte_pgprot() in ioremap_prot()

pte_pgprot() filters out some required flags like _PAGE_PRESENT.

This patch replaces pte_pgprot() by __pgprot(pte_val())
in ioremap_prot()
