[PATCH 3.2 101/153] x86/mm: Fix {pmd,pud}_{set,clear}_flags()

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Wed May 30 2018 - 07:29:13 EST


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

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

From: Jan Beulich <JBeulich@xxxxxxxx>

commit 842cef9113c2120f74f645111ded1e020193d84c upstream.

Just like pte_{set,clear}_flags() their PMD and PUD counterparts should
not do any address translation. This was outright wrong under Xen
(causing a dead boot with no useful output on "suitable" systems), and
produced needlessly more complicated code (even if just slightly) when
paravirt was enabled.
