Re: [PATCH 2/2] powerpc/64s: __find_linux_pte synchronization vs pmdp_invalidate

From: Aneesh Kumar K.V <hidden>
Date: 2019-06-07 05:41:14

Nicholas Piggin [off-list ref] writes:
The change to pmdp_invalidate to mark the pmd with _PAGE_INVALID broke
the synchronisation against lock free lookups, __find_linux_pte's
pmd_none check no longer returns true for such cases.

Fix this by adding a check for this condition as well.
