The difference between 64K and 4K hash fault handling is confusing
with respect to when we set _PAGE_HASHPTE in the linux pte.
I was trying to find out whether we miss a hpte flush in any
scenario because of this. ie, a pte update on a linux pte, for which we
are doing a parallel hash pte insert. After looking at it closer my
understanding is this won't happen because pte update also look at
_PAGE_BUSY and we will wait for hash pte insert to finish before going
ahead with the pte update. But to avoid further confusion keep the
hash fault handler for all the page size similar to __hash_page_4k.
This partially reverts commit 41743a4e34f0 ("powerpc: Free a PTE bit on ppc64 with 64K pages"In each of the functions you are modifying below, there is already an explicit setting of _PAGE_HASHPTE in new_pte. So I don't think this is necessary, or if we do this, we can eliminate the separate setting of _PAGE_HASHPTE later on. In general I think it's better to leave the setting of _PAGE_HASHPTE until we know what slot the HPTE is going to go into. That way we have less chance of ending up with _PAGE_HASHPTE set but bogus information in _PAGE_F_GIX and _PAGE_F_SECOND.
