[PATCH 2/4] arm64: hugetlbpages: Correctly handle swap entries in huge_pte_offset()

Hi Punit,

table entries. 
What exactly does it do wrong?

Judging by the patch, we return NULL in some cases we shouldn't, right?

What can result from this? e.g. can we see data corruption?
Not knowing the size of the hugepage entry being
requested only compounded the problem.

The recently added hstate parameter can be used to determine the size of
hugepage being accessed. Use the size to find the correct page table
entry to return when coming across a swap page table entry.

Given this is a fix for a bug, it sounds like it should have a fixes
tag, or a Cc stable...

Thanks,
Mark.
