From 6910fa16dbe142f6a0fd0fd7c249f9883ff7fc8a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Feng Kan Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2015 15:40:21 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] arm64: enable PTE type bit in the mask for pte_modify Caught during Trinity testing. The pte_modify does not allow modification for PTE type bit. This cause the test to hang the system. It is found that the PTE can't transit from an inaccessible page (b00) to a valid page (b11) because the mask does not allow it. This happens when a big block of mmaped memory is set the PROT_NONE, then the a small piece is broken off and set to PROT_WRITE | PROT_READ cause a huge page split.
