[PATCH 1/2] powerpc/mm: Handle protnone ptes on fork

Tue Feb 28 00:56:26 AEDT 2017


We need mark pages of parent process read only on fork. Numa fault pte
needs a protnone ptes variant with saved write flag set. On fork we need to
make sure we remove the saved write bit. Instead of adding the protnone check
in the caller update ptep_set_wrprotect variants to clear savedwrite bit.

Without this we see random segfaults in application on fork.

Fixes: c137a2757b886 ("powerpc/mm/autonuma: switch ppc64 to its own
implementation of saved write")
