MADV_FREE needs pmd_dirty and pmd_mkclean for detecting recent overwrite of the contents since MADV_FREE syscall is called for THP page but for s390 pmds only referenced bit is available because there is no free bit left in the pmd entry for the software dirty bit so this patch adds dumb pmd_dirty which returns always true by suggesting by Martin. They finally find a solution in future. http://marc.info/?l=linux-api&m=140440328820808&w=2 Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <redacted> Cc: Heiko Carstens <redacted> Cc: Gerald Schaefer <redacted> Cc: Dominik Dingel <redacted> Cc: Christian Borntraeger <redacted> Cc: linux-s390-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org Signed-off-by: Minchan Kim <redacted> --- arch/s390/include/asm/pgtable.h | 12 ++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+)
