[PATCH] powerpc/iseries: Fix double phys_to_abs bug in htab_bolt_mapping
Before the merge I updated create_pte_mapping() to work for iSeries, by calling iSeries_hpte_bolt_or_insert. (4c55130b2a
) Later we changed iSeries_hpte_insert to cope with the bolting case, and called that instead from create_pte_mapping() (which was renamed to htab_bolt_mapping) (3c726f8dee
). Unfortunately that change introduced a subtle bug, where we pass an absolute address to iSeries_hpte_insert() where it expects a physical address. This leads to us calling phys_to_abs() twice on the physical address, which is seriously bogus. This only causes a problem if the absolute address from the first translation can be looked up again in the chunk_map, which depends on the size and layout of memory. I've seen it fail on one box, but not others. The minimal fix is to pass the physical address to iSeries_hpte_insert(). For 2.6.17 we should make phys_to_abs() BUG if we try to double-translate an address. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
