[PATCH] arm64: hugetlb: Fix huge_pte_offset to return poisoned pmd

From: Punit Agrawal
Date: Thu Mar 09 2017 - 11:16:29 EST


When memory failure is enabled, a poisoned hugepage PMD is marked as a
swap entry. As pmd_present() only checks for VALID and PROT_NONE
bits (turned off for swap entries), it causues huge_pte_offset() to
return NULL for poisoned PMDs.

This behaviour of huge_pte_offset() leads to the error such as below
when munmap is called on poisoned hugepages.

[ 344.165544] mm/pgtable-generic.c:33: bad pmd 000000083af00074.

Fix huge_pte_offset() to return the poisoned PMD which is then
appropriately handled by the generic layer code.
