    powerpc/mm/hash: Clear the invalid slot information correctly · 9ab3ac23
    Aneesh Kumar K.V authored
    We can get a hash pte fault with 4k base page size and find the pte
    already inserted with 64K base page size. In that case we need to clear
    the existing slot information from the old pte. Fix this correctly
    
    With THP, we also clear the slot information with respect to all
    the 64K hash pte mapping that 16MB page. They are all invalid
    now. This make sure we don't find the slot valid when we fault with
    4k base page size. Finding the slot valid should not result in any wrong
    behavior because we do check again in hash page table for the validity.
    But we can avoid that check completely.
