From: Andrea Arcangeli Date: Wed, 10 Apr 2013 13:28:25 +0000 (+0200) Subject: x86/mm/cpa: Convert noop to functional fix X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f76cfa3c2496c462b5bc01bd0c9340c2715b73ca;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git x86/mm/cpa: Convert noop to functional fix Commit: a8aed3e0752b ("x86/mm/pageattr: Prevent PSE and GLOABL leftovers to confuse pmd/pte_present and pmd_huge") introduced a valid fix but one location that didn't trigger the bug that lead to finding those (small) problems, wasn't updated using the right variable. The wrong variable was also initialized for no good reason, that may have been the source of the confusion. Remove the noop initialization accordingly. Commit a8aed3e0752b also erroneously removed one canon_pgprot pass meant to clear pmd bitflags not supported in hardware by older CPUs, that automatically gets corrected by this patch too by applying it to the right variable in the new location.
