[PATCH]x86: make spurious_fault check correct pte bit

From: Shaohua Li
Date: Tue Jul 27 2010 - 04:06:38 EST


pte_present() returns true even present bit isn't set but _PAGE_PROTNONE
(global bit) bit is set. While with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, free pages have
global bit set but present bit clear. This patch makes we could catch
free pages access with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC enabled.
