[PATCH 3.16 044/346] MIPS: Fix page table corruption on THP permission changes.

[Ben Hutchings]

3.16.39-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: David Daney <david.daney@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit acd168c0bf2ce709f056a6b1bf21634b1207d7a5 upstream.

When the core THP code is modifying the permissions of a huge page it
calls pmd_modify(), which unfortunately was clearing the _PAGE_HUGE bit
of the page table entry.  The result can be kernel messages like:

mm/memory.c:397: bad pmd 000000040080004d.
mm/memory.c:397: bad pmd 00000003ff00004d.
mm/memory.c:397: bad pmd 000000040100004d.

or:
