Commit Message

Christophe Leroy Feb. 3, 2021, 10:19 a.m. UTC
Commit 83d116c53058 ("mm: fix double page fault on arm64 if PTE_AF
is cleared") introduced arch_faults_on_old_pte() helper to identify
platforms that don't set page access bit in HW and require a page
fault to set it.

Commit 44bf431b47b4 ("mm/memory.c: Add memory read privilege on page
fault handling") added pte_sw_mkyoung() which is yet another way to
manage platforms that don't set page access bit in HW and require a
page fault to set it.

Remove that pte_sw_mkyoung() helper and use the already existing
arch_faults_on_old_pte() helper together with pte_mkyoung() instead.

This conflicts with mm/memory.c changes in linux-next.  In
do_set_pte().  Please check my efforts:

I wanted to just get rid of it completely --

https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=160860750115163&w=2

Waiting for MIPs to get that patch mentioned merged or nacked but
as yet seems to be no response from maintainers.

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arch/20201019081257.32127-1-huangpei@loongson.cn/

Thanks,
Nick
