From 0e0da48dee8dfbcc0df4b8e2ff4efc7a2c89ba6b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mikulas Patocka Date: Wed, 18 Mar 2015 13:42:38 -0400 Subject: parisc: mm: don't count preallocated pmds The patch dc6c9a35b66b520cf67e05d8ca60ebecad3b0479 that counts pmds allocated for a process introduced a bug on 64-bit PA-RISC kernels. The PA-RISC architecture preallocates one pmd with each pgd. This preallocated pmd can never be freed - pmd_free does nothing when it is called with this pmd. When the kernel attempts to free this preallocated pmd, it decreases the count of allocated pmds. The result is that the counter underflows and this error is reported. This patch fixes the bug by artifically incrementing the counter in pmd_free when the kernel tries to free the preallocated pmd. Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka Acked-by: Kirill A.
