[PATCH 2/2] powerpc/64s: __find_linux_pte synchronization vs pmdp_invalidate

Fri Jun 7 13:56:36 AEST 2019


The change to pmdp_invalidate to mark the pmd with _PAGE_INVALID broke
the synchronisation against lock free lookups, __find_linux_pte's
pmd_none check no longer returns true for such cases.

Fix this by adding a check for this condition as well.
