Commit b38af4721f59 ("x86,mm: fix pte_special versus pte_numa") adjusted
the pte_special check to take into account that a special pte had SPECIAL
and neither PRESENT nor PROTNONE. Now that NUMA hinting PTEs are no
longer modifying _PAGE_PRESENT it should be safe to restore the original
pte_special behaviour.Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman <[email protected]> --- arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable.h | 8 +------- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable.h b/arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable.h index f8799e0..5241332 100644 --- a/arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable.h +++ b/arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable.h @@ -131,13 +131,7 @@ static inline int pte_exec(pte_t pte) static inline int pte_special(pte_t pte) { - /* - * See CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING pte_numa in include/asm-generic/pgtable.h. - * On x86 we have _PAGE_BIT_NUMA == _PAGE_BIT_GLOBAL+1 == - * __PAGE_BIT_SOFTW1 == _PAGE_BIT_SPECIAL. - */ - return (pte_flags(pte) & _PAGE_SPECIAL) && - (pte_flags(pte) & (_PAGE_PRESENT|_PAGE_PROTNONE)); + return pte_flags(pte) & _PAGE_SPECIAL; } static inline unsigned long pte_pfn(pte_t pte) -- 2.1.2 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
