Hi,

This patch series fixes machine check exception that we observed when using
transparent huge page along with 4k hash pte on power bare metal platform.
Patch "powerpc: mm: Use read barrier when creating real_pte" is not really
related to thp, but was added in the series  because it is fixing a related
issue with 4k pte. That patch was not really needed to fix the MCE.

Changes from V1:
* Rebased to latest upstream

Aneesh Kumar K.V (8):
  powerpc: thp: Add write barrier after updating the valid bit
  powerpc: thp: don't recompute vsid and ssize in loop on invalidate
  powerpc: thp: invalidate old 64K based hash page mapping before insert
    of 4k pte
  powerpc: thp: Handle combo pages in invalidate
  powerpc: thp: inalidate with vpn in loop
  powerpc: thp: use ACCESS_ONCE when loading pmdp
  powerpc: mm: Use read barrier when creating real_pte
  powerpc: thp: Add tracepoints to track hugepage invalidate
