[PATCH 4.4 038/146] ARM: 8578/1: mm: ensure pmd_present only checks the valid bit

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Jul 25 2016 - 17:02:04 EST


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

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

From: Will Deacon <will.deacon@xxxxxxx>

commit 624531886987f0f1b5d01fb598034d039198e090 upstream.

In a subsequent patch, pmd_mknotpresent will clear the valid bit of the
pmd entry, resulting in a not-present entry from the hardware's
perspective. Unfortunately, pmd_present simply checks for a non-zero pmd
value and will therefore continue to return true even after a
pmd_mknotpresent operation. Since pmd_mknotpresent is only used for
managing huge entries, this is only an issue for the 3-level case.

This patch fixes the 3-level pmd_present implementation to take into
account the valid bit. For bisectability, the change is made before the
fix to pmd_mknotpresent.
