[PATCH] Enable mprotect on huge pages
2.6.16-rc3 uses hugetlb on-demand paging, but it doesn_t support hugetlb mprotect. From: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Remove a test from the mprotect() path which checks that the mprotect()ed range on a hugepage VMA is hugepage aligned (yes, really, the sense of is_aligned_hugepage_range() is the opposite of what you'd guess :-/). In fact, we don't need this test. If the given addresses match the beginning/end of a hugepage VMA they must already be suitably aligned. If they don't, then mprotect_fixup() will attempt to split the VMA. The very first test in split_vma() will check for a badly aligned address on a hugepage VMA and return -EINVAL if necessary. From: "Chen, Kenneth W" <kenneth.w.chen@intel.com> On i386 and x86-64, pte flag _PAGE_PSE collides with _PAGE_PROTNONE. The identify of hugetlb pte is lost when changing page protection via mprotect. A page fault occurs later will trigger a bug check in huge_pte_alloc(). The fix is to always make new pte a hugetlb pte and also to clean up legacy code where _PAGE_PRESENT is forced on in the pre-faulting day.
