Pagewalk ignores hugepd entries and walk down the tables as if it was traditionnal entries, leading to crazy result. Add walk_hugepd_range() and use it to walk hugepage tables.I see you took patch 2 and 3 of the series.Yeah I decided those were bug fixes so could be taken separately.quoted
Do you expect Andrew to take patch 1 via mm tree, and then you'll take patch 4 once mm tree is merged ?I didn't feel I could take patch 1 via the powerpc tree without risking conflicts. Andrew could take patch 1 and 4 via mm, though he might not want to pick them up this late.
Patch 4 needs patches 2 and 3 and doesn't apply without them so it is not that easy. Maybe Andrew you can take patch 1 now and then Michael you can take patch 4 at anytime during 5.15 preparation without any conflict risk ?
I guess step one would be to repost 1 and 4 as a new series. Either they can go via mm, or for 5.15 I could probably take them both as long as I pick them up early enough.
I'll first repost patch 1 as standalone and see what happens. Christophe
